You could control this by a user option.

url-handlers.el supports already non-canonical schemes, see
`url-tramp-protocols'. We could add "jar" and "zipfile" to another user
option, `url-archive-protocols', and let tramp-archive.el do the job.

The current restriction is, that tramp-archive.el works only on
GNU/Linux systems. When this is replaced by a native integration of
libarchive(3) into Emacs, it would work everywhere.

Best regards, Michael.
