I use qb64 version 1.5.

   There's no "built in" support but you can always Shell an external program.   

   In Windows the system program "START zipfile.zip" 
will open the zip file as a folder. 

so in QB64PE code   

 zipfilename$ = "myzipfile.zip"
 Shell -dontwait "START " + zipfilename$

 On MAC the command open will do similiar and on Linux
the program xdg-open will do likewise.
