We moved things around a bit for 3.5, so this would be in Lib/importlib/_bootstrap_external.py now. My vague recollection is that the key complication we came up with was how to make the "standard library in a zipfile" scenario keep working (together with the completely frozen application case, where the app and its modules are bundled together with the interpreter in one binary). In that case, the zip format is just being used as an archive, rather than for compression, so the current zlib dependency shouldn't enter into it. However, it likely makes sense to look at what would be involved in making zipimport PEP 451 compatible *without* accounting for that constraint, and then see what would need to be refactored/frozen/moved to C to handle it after the simpler case is working.
