There aren't any details there, other than what you're saying here.

Very surprising since KFilterDev, well, uses zlib directly, and passes it
data in chunks, so it shouldn't consume that much memory.

Anyway the "couldn't open underlying device" is the real problem. Are you
sure you're giving it a filename pointing to a file that exists?
If yes, the open call that fails is in kfilterdev.cpp line 131 - can you step
into it to see why it fails? This is all with kdelibs CVS head, right?
