Well, my proposal is to have empty archives like template.zip, 
template.gz, template.bz2, etc.
somewhere like /usr/share/avfs/archive_templates,
for all types of archives where writing is supported. When you 
want to create an archive, like: 
virt_mkdir("/path/to/myarchive.zip#uzip",flags)
just copy right template from template dir, rename it and 
continue as usuall.

BTW:
which archive types support writing?
zip
bzip2
gz
??
