My guess is that your links use absolute paths. I had no problem doing
this with a file using relative paths and the following directory structure:

     tmp -- kitchin.org
         `- images -- foo.png

kitchin.org looks like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+STARTUP: inlineimages

* foo

This  [[file:images/foo.png]] is an inline image.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and I zipped like this:

$ zip kitchin.zip kitchin.org images

I can then open the zip file, and open kitchin.org inside the zip file
with the inline image showing.
