Most operating systems has embeded zip (Windows, MacOS, Linux)I recommend you to use a archiver app like WinRar (commercial) or 7-zip (freeware) and to directly open and edit files from archivers window.
WinRar is not crossplatform and comertial, I sugest to remove it.
I use 7-zip only to unpack rar and 7z archives.
PS. Yes I hate rar because I forced to install something to unpack it. I use only zip to share files.
