The second argument to writeToFileHandle is supposed to address that:
writeToFileHandle( $fileHandle [, $seekable] )
Write a zip archive to a file handle. Return AZ_OK on success. The
optional second arg tells whether or not to try to seek backwards to
re-write headers.

If you pass a file handle that is not seekable (like if you're writing
to a pipe or a socket), pass a false second argument:
