Use a freeby 3rd party component like the one I use from
http://www.componentace.com/zip_component_zip_delphi_zipforge.htm

Example code to add up all the file sizes inside a .ZIP file using the 
ComponentAce ZipForge VCL component :-

   __int64 tsz=0,ii=0; bool ok; TZFArchiveItem arit;
   ZipForge1->FileName="MYZIP.ZIP";
   ZipForge1->OpenArchive(fmOpenRead);
   ZipForge1->Options->Recurse=true;
   try
   {
     ok=ZipForge1->FindFirst("*.*",arit,255-faDirectory,"");
     while (ok) { ++ii; tsz+=(__int64)arit.UncompressedSize; 
ok=ZipForge1->FindNext(arit);}
     ShowMessage(nam+" with "+AnsiString(ii)+" Files Totalling "+mjfmtnm(tsz));
   }
   catch (Exception &excp)
   {
     ShowMessage(excp.Message);
   }
   ZipForge1->CloseArchive(); ZipForge1->Options->Recurse=false;
