Most of the times using Invoke Method, because unfortunately some clients prefer to use only UiPath official packages.

It would be nice to have zip/unzip activities in System activity package under Files category

That’s an option. Also, can’t you just create a library and reuse the zip/unzip workflows as normal activities?
