I did agree with your original suggestion.
However, I don't think that a lack of zip formats, is a disincentive
from using R.
If you don't want to run the installer, see Iñaki's message for how to
extract the files without running it. I don't know if any of the
configuration done by the installer is essential; you can read the
source in https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/gnuwin32/installer if
you are curious.

If you have an issue with the Windows installer, the obvious option is
to install the source version, and compile from it.
This is, after all, how open source is designed to work.
Also, I agree with what Duncan said.
