The problem was fixed by changing temporary-file-directory from "c:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp" to "~/temp/"
I am running windows 7. The environment variables TEMP & TMP both point to c:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp. I guess that zip/unzip were running in the ~/temp directory, while the files were stored in the ...\AppData\Local\Temp one. Thanks for your help.
