Even a shared code base could be compiled as 32-bit application/library or as 
64-bit application/library. In any case, if KMail produced the zip file, then 
it did most likely use a different code base than the unzip program.

zip is a standardized format. There are many libraries and programs written in 
a multitude of programming languages that all can produce and consume zip 
files. All of those zip files are compatible, but compatibility doesn't mean 
that 32-bit application are magically able to digest files larger than 4 GiB.

The same way as the KMail exporter. By using a 64-bit library.
