No, they are not .zip files. They are .jar files. Specifically
jndi.jar, ldap.jar and providerutil.jar, which are provided by
Sun for accessing LDAP databases via JNDI. I was able to
get the Tomcat to load these classes but only by editing the
wrapper.class_path property in the wrapper.properties config file.
But I was under the impression that simply putting the Sun jar
files in the WEB-INF/lib directory along with my servlet.jar file
would be sufficient and eliminate the need to edit wrapper.properties.
Am I off base here? Is there some limitation to having more than one
jar file in WEB-INF/lib?

I have had some success with renaming .zip files .jar (your mileage may vary).
