I will discard this RR and submit a new one that switches to p7zip for zip archives.

Ideally, this should not happen because only files that exist in an archive should be presented in the QTreeView. However, for the clizip plugin at least, files with filenames containing special characters cause this plugin to not find the file and hence not extract it, and Ark crashes attempting to view it.
