You can use the mtime of any file inside the zip file. 
All them are set to the commit time of the git-hash you hit 'Download Snapshot' for.
Thus "stat -c '%y ' src/Makefile.am" will give the commit date.

For tarballs obtained via "git archive -o snapshot.tar githash" 
all the files in the tarball have the commit-time as mtime.
