In a shell, enter:
mount -t &&& /dev/*** /mnt
where &&& is the format of the zip disk (e.g. hfs for mac std.) and ***
is where the zip is located on your machine (e.g. on my wallstreet2
pbg3, I have it at hde, which is likely not the same for you). If all
goes well, cd to the /mnt directory and the contents of your zip wil be
there.
I created a separate folder /mnt/zip to mount my zip to. Therefore, I
enter:
mount -t hfs /dev/hde /mnt/zip
in a shell to mount my zip drive. There are many other little issues
that one can get into (e.g. put an entry into the /etc/fstab file to
automate this process, etc.), but let me not answer too much more than
you've asked!

P.S.
umount /dev/***
to unmount the zip (there is no missing 'n' typo in 'umount').
