Well, in the US at least, Zip says Zip Code to me. Zip compression would be my second guess so it isn't completely obvious.
It is a ZipCode, exactly.

And by the same logic, a Zip archive is a ZipArchive. Do a web search for "zip" and you will find that half of the first set of results are about zip archives and the other half are about zip codes. Why are you assuming zip automatically means zip archive to people? It certainly doesn't to me, but perhaps I am too much of a Unix guy so zip archives have never been of much use. -Rasmus
