Some Qs for you:
* is the path that vim uses for your shell the same as the path your
shell uses? (I'm not at a windows computer; perhaps :!echo %PATH%
* is vim using the shell you expect? :echo &shell
* The message that you're getting, "...cannot find..." is not being
issued directly by zip.vim; does it work if you use backslashes instead
of slashes?

Well, that's a start, anyway.
