> Surely they should have used /VMS when zipping it.

   You seem to assume that they used Info-ZIP Zip on a VMS system when
making the archive.  Evidence suggests otherwise.  See above:

> file system or operating system of origin: MS-DOS, OS/2 or NT FAT

   I suspect that if the file had been created/stored on a VMS system
and was (easily) readable there, and they had used Info-ZIP Zip on a VMS 
system when making the archive, then -V (/VMS) wouldn't have mattered.

   I also suspect that if you had a file on a Windows system, with CR+LF
line endings, and used Info-ZIP Zip on a Windows system with "-ll" (as
the "zip -h" help says, "-l   convert LF to CR LF (-ll CR LF to LF)"),
then the results might have been better, too.

   What does _not_ work well is whatever they actually did with
whichever tools they actually used.

   As invited ("If you have any problems or questions, contact us
[...]"), I sent a complaint to the "community" e-mail address.  The
reply said:

      Thank you for your comments and sorry for the inconvenience. We
      will consider changing our process.

   So, perhaps all will be well in the future.  (Better documentation of
the work-arounds would be better than nothing, but I suspect that
someone at VSI can puzzle out a procedure which can take what they start
with and produce a universally acceptable product.)
