Can I mount a zip (or other non-solid (so that accessing a file wouldn't decompress the whole archive) compressed archive format file) as a file system in Ubuntu?

Workaround: copy [whatever].apk to [whatever].zip
cp whatever.apk whatever.zip
Then Archive Manager will work with the .zip version
I know this question was posted over a year ago, but after running into what looks like the exact same issue I might be able to provide some answers. The most likely cause of this interoperability problem is OneDrive's implementation of the ZIP64 extension, and to be more precise the value of the "total number of disks" field in the "zip64 end of central dir locator". In the OneDrive files, this value is set to 0 (zero), whereas most reader tools expect a value of 1.
For more information here's a detailed write-up I posted on my blog:
If you're comfortable with a bit of Hex editing, you can provisionally "fix" affected files by changing the first byte of the "total number of disks" field in a hex editor, again see my blog post for details.
UPDATE: partially prompted by my blog post someone has written a Perl script that fixes these files automatically, see this link for more details:

In addition, this support page from Microsoft says (3rd 'Notes' section from top):
Downloads are subject to the following limits: individual file size limit: 10GB; total zip file size limit: 20GB; total number of files limit: 10,000.
So for a 45 GB directory you might hit these size limits as well.

~/Documents/file.zip, thenYou could also browse the content in Nautilus, but you need to add a trailing
