zlib has been there for ages (probably Qt 1.x already). And its API /is/ exposed: qCompress which operates on byte arrays:

  http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/QByteArray.html

However zlib does /not/ support ZIP files, it only implements the actual compression algorithms (not the file hierarchy within a ZIP archive), AFAIK.
