Looks like the quite old Info-ZIP one is the dominant one, though. Yes, there is 7z, but it's CLI is completely incompatible with the (Info-ZIP) zip/unzip pair. Apparently, there should be a pre-release of Info-ZIP going back only to 2015 rather than 2009, but I have been unable to find it. And it also looks like Freebsd has a zip/unzip clone internally based on libarchive that should be portable, but I haven't found any linux port.
I wonder if there is a re-implementation of the Info-ZIP zip/unzip pair based on libzip and as such bringing in the nice new features.
