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
