You don't tell which version of InfoZip did you use, and how did you
arrive at the binary (did you compile it yourself?).

Some versions of InfoZip need to be compiled with -DVFAT to enable
DJGPP-style runtime support for long file names.  You need to grep the
sources for VFAT to see the state of affairs in the version you use.

It is possible that latest versions of InfoZip enable long file name
support automatically, but I'm not sure.
