is a QGIS problem or a OGR one?
here the following test fails with ogr
giovanni@sibirica:~/Desktop > ogrinfo -ro -al -so /vsizip/Worldcap.zip/WORLDCAP.TAB
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `/vsizip/Worldcap.zip/WORLDCAP.TAB' with the following drivers.
-> ESRI Shapefile
-> MapInfo File
...

where after unipping the folder the file WORLDCAP.TAB open just fine.

In fact it is not supported by OGR, see:

Maybe better make them gray and not draggable.

Maybe better make them gray and not draggable.
this would not solve entirely the issue as the zip layer can be dragged and dropped also from a system folder, or added using the standard "add vector layer" dialog.

I guess this should be closed as fixed upstream
