Such as the cygwin p7zip program, or the native programs distributed by
the upstream 7zip project (google...)
However, be warning: 7zip -- and the 7zip format -- contain NO
provisions for storing unix style permissions, unix style ACLs, nor
Windows/NTFS style ACLs.
Therefore, if Corinna 'unpacks' you test file, she will NOT necessarily
be testing your exact scenario. So, you need to use a tool that cares
for such things (the exact tool will depend on the OS (and cygwin, if
OS=win) for your server, and for your client.
I point this out, because it may not be a UTF filename encoding problem
at all. You just might not have the appropriate permissions to access
the (remote, local) files.
So:

So: use 7zip and keep the encoding -- but lose the permissions. Use
tar/zip, and keep the permissions but lose the encodings.
Maybe you should post the output, on your (remote?) system, of
getfacl -f emptydir
getfacl -f file-in-empty-dir
