If I get the zip from somewhere I probably don't know it's a single-file
zip beforehand. . . So maybe displaying it in tar-mode (or whatever
it's called) and requiring one more RET is better.
How about a zip file that contains only one folder and one file, like
folder/
folder/txt
I don't necessarily agree that the proposed behavior is the logically
correct thing to do in the case of an archive that is not "obviously"(?)
a file (like foo.el.gz).

However beautiful the theory, you should occasionally look at the evidence
