do you link with just zip or zip+ssl?
Coz I've had SSL fun before on debian, and heard others with ssl problems too (non-debian).. so I would suggest looking at that first (try with just ziplinks without ssl).

Anyway, I cannot reproduce it here with:
1. ssl | ssl+zip | zip | ssl, tried all 4 combo's from win -> Linux.
2. w2k Unreal3.2 recent cvs (pre1) [this uses the new zlib 1.2.1 while rc2 and before use 1.1.4]
3. Linux Debian testing/unstable, relevant dpkg --list grep's:
  ii zlib1g 1.2.1-5 compression library - runtime
  ii zlib1g-dev 1.2.1-5 compression library - development
  ii libssl-dev 0.9.7d-1 SSL development libraries, header files and
  ii libssl0.9.6 0.9.6l-1 SSL shared libraries (old version)
  ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7d-1 SSL shared libraries

Also, you never mentioned the error you received (preferably from both sides). If you use SSL it's worth to set yourself +s +j (=junk snomask) to get verbose errors.

the pre1 win cvs build is available from http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/win_cvs_build.html

This is a configuration error, your link block is not ok, see the documentation on the link block and the FAQ (note that link::hostname is verified for incomming connections).
