Research direction

Start by locating the ZipStreamReader and ZipStreamWriter implementations and any existing ZIP-format tests. Read how archive size and file-count limits are currently handled, then define coverage for reading and writing Zip64 archives. Done means archives exceeding 65k files or 4 GB are supported.

Description

ZipStreamReader and ZipStreamWriter do not support zip64 yet. However, large sites will have more than 65k files and may have files larger than 4gb. Let's provide support for the zip64 version of the zip format.
