Dunno about ZIP, but I've mounted many PC formated SCSI drives on my 
amiga. In fact, I just unplug my 1 GIG seagate SCSI from my PC and stick 
it to the end of my CSA 12-Guage SCSI chain. Works fine.

You however MUST have crossdos 6. Older version will let you mount and 
access it but you must never allow any software to check its INFO. Many 
programs use the ASL requester which checks for the drives info when you 
click on volumes button. By the same token, you cannot double click on 
its drive icon. With crossdos 6, it works beautifully. It even reports 
the PC drive usage accurately.

Verdict? GET CROSSDOS 6. There's also a configdisk command in Crossdos6 
that'll check your PC drive and make a proper mount file. (You could 
manually create one too.)
