Manipulating a Zip File

I'm trying to create a file that is a combination of a few lines of header data
tacked onto the front of a zip file. I do this in UltraEdit, thinking that UE
doesn't screw up the file contents at all except for what I modify. However, when
I remove the header, the zip file can no longer be read by unzip.e (error is
"unexpected EOF").

Anybody know how to attach a simple series of text lines onto a zip and then
remove them so I can then unzip the contents? What I'm trying to do is have more
data about the files inside the "zipped" file so I can display that to the
customer, then when they make their selection, unzip the contents.
