you won't be able to see the images in the zip file

extract the file to a folder then windows should read in each file and save a small copy of it to image.db file that holds the previews

multimedia files don't compress well , the only reason to zip is keep them in one place, but remember if that zip file gets damaged then you could loose them all.
