The standard zip format does not support large archives or large files inside archives (even if a compressed file was smaller than 4GB). You need to use the Zip64 extensions. See Zip64 Format: Crossing the Limits of File Sizes and Number of Files and Segments for more information. This functionality is available only to the purchasers of the Full Version license.
