For some ZIP files (not only with suffix .zip, but also e.g. .jar) F3 behaves correctly, but Alt + Q shows immediately content of one of its packed files, as you can see on the header of the Quick View panel.
(I have more of that ZIP files, mainly executable .jar files.)
I discovered it while testing my lister plugin, and after some investigation I determined that even the ListLoadNext() function is not called after changing from another file to such ZIP file.
I deleted the wincmd.ini file (so no plugins were installed and no bad setting may interfere) and the internal viewer behaved the same.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of TC 8.01 have this bug. Tested in Windows 7 64-bit.
F3 (View) and Alt + Q (Quick View) behaves differently

But in my case the Quick View shows file "ReaderResourceBundle.class" (from the executable .jar archive) and in other – also executable .jar file – it shows directly this file (as F3 do).
(Yes, in the second case is no file with this name.)
In the first case is interesting, that this file is located deeply in the directory structure of this .jar file – the full name of this file is
"TinyReminder.jar\sk\solidsoft\internationalization\ReaderResourceBundle.class"
and the header of Quick View panel shows only the name
"TinyReminder.jar/ReaderResourceBundle.class"
(with the forward slash). But in the first level of in this archive is no file, there are only 3 directories.

It seems that because of. 
Actually TC looks for read*, not readme*. Recently it was a bit changed but not for your case:

21.03.10 Fixed: Ctrl+Q on archive: First look for string "readme", then "read" if not found. Don't show files where the extension starts with .com.exe.lnk.wav.mp.avi.bmp.gif.jp.png.tif.swf.flv.mov.wm
