I have given up on using Rev zip feature and use shell for Mac and  
compress/decompress for Win.

Here is a small snippet I last used in on of my apps.  If anything is  
unclear, just holler.

  --DECOMPRESS IT
      if the platform is "MacOS" then
           -- MAKE SURE TO ESCAPE THE SPACES
           put tAppPathParent into tShellPath
           replace " " with "\ " in tShellPath
           put "unzip -o " & tShellPath & tDownloadedFile & " -x *_M*"  
into tShellCmd
           put shell(tShellCmd)
      end if
      if the platform is "Win32" then
           put url ("binfile:" & tDownloadedFile) into tData
           put decompress(tData) into tData
           put tData into URL "binfile:Engine Updater.exe"
      end if
