For what I'd like to be able to do, a KDE I/O slave will not suffice, it
has to be system-wide and transparent so arbitrary scripts and
applications can access it.

Thanks in advance for any pointers anyone has.

I don't know if it'll do what you want, but Konqueror lets you browse
the contents of zip files.

I don't know about using it for the scripts part, but mc is how I navigate
and extract files from most archives.
