Zip and Unzip work across all platforms.  Source is available from

ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume31/zip19/  (for zip)
ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume44/unzip/  (for unzip)

I think they come in several parts, SHAR format (i.e. you need the unix
Bourne shell to extract them.

The LHA archiver also exists on unix, PC, and Amiga.  So does Zoo.
