I'd like to add ZIPFLDR.DLL to 98SE2ME, and I'll probably do it sometimes in the future, but right now I'm concerned with the file size [98SE2ME.EXE is currently 2.65 MB]. Dial-up/56k/analog users are already waiting over 6 minutes to d/l the file.
To add ZIP support to 98 SE I need to add these 3 files from Q329048:
DUNZIP32.DLL
DZIP32.DLL
ZIPFLDR.DLL
which would probably add another 1 MB to the 98SE2ME.EXE file size.
Hope this helps.

You need something like this batch file
This creates the file, and associates the correct icon with it, too.
CODE
@echo off
set winsys=
if exist %windir%\system\regsvr32.exe set winsys=%windir%\system
if exist %windir%\system32\regsvr32.exe set winsys=%windir%\system32
if %winsys%=="" goto :end
copy *.dll %winsys%
%winsys%\regsvr32.exe %winsys%\zipfldr.dll
set regfile=%temp%\zipfolder.reg
echo REGEDIT4 > %regfile%
echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Plus!98\Setup\ZipFldr]>>%regfile%
echo "Installed"="1">>%regfile%
echo. >> %regfile%

Frankly, if you want my opinion zip folders is nor worth it. You'd rather install IzArc for example to handle archives. It will handle most of them, the list is long, and also you'll be able to create archives which you can't do with zip folders.

well almost everybody has an individual preference for archivers (7-Zip's mine)
and btw you can create archives with zip folders it's in the 'Send To' menu if memory suffices

What about a simple DOS-type ZIP extractor? I have a no-name unzip.exe that's 50Kb. Should only add a few seconds of download time for the dial-up users.
Edit: my recommendation goes to LZH/LH7, it creates much smaller files than ZIP. In fact I repack downloaded zip files as LZHs to save space.
