The user parameter allows normal users to mount. If you can
/zip but not /mnt/zip as a normal user, check the permission
of /mnt and /mnt/zip.

Quick fix:

   chown root.root /mnt
   chmod 755 /mnt

(presumably it's enough).

If it was a beature and not a fug, and you really wanted
the second line above to not work for normal users, you
just needed to remove the user keyword.

or remove the suid bit from mount (see the s when
ls -la `which mount`) and this will disable this
functionnality for non root users and all fs.
