Are you perhaps importing the zip file into the same directory structure 
that your project is set to build into? If so, you should know that the 
Eclipse Java builder will delete the contents of the build output 
directory under some circumstances (such as during a Clean build).
If you need the zip file to be included in your build output, just 
include it in the source directory; Eclipse will automatically copy any 
non-.java files it finds in source directories into the build output 
location.

Hope this helps,
Eric
