There is a big problem with zip-files containing any non-latin characters. Problems occurs with files zipped under windows, because original encoding is not saved.
One of two solutions neded:
simple - disable file unzipping, if it contains non-lating characters
complex - if it contains non-lating characters, display encoding select page, wich shows list of files with non-latin characters in selected encoding.

Git-patch for solving problem. If any files in archive have characters with code > 127 lists such files and asks to select encoding.
Does not works with external zip/unzip, disable them in setup.
tested on windows xp and ubuntu 9.10 server

Moodle 1.9.7 (Build: 20091126)

When I import a course, the directories that have _ (underline) in the name are imported, but with 0 (zero) bytes
No file is imported

Yes, the problem is still actual, but in some other case, maybe it should be created another issue
In 2.x version unzipped filenames are cleaned from "bad" characters.
In this case archives with national-characters filenames becomes unusefull.
For example archive contatis files "яя.doc" and "юю.doc". Only one of them is extracted with name ".doc"
In addition such filenames cleaning breaks links in html-files.

The only right solution in this case is to check whether arcive contains characters with code > 127 and in this case show box for selecting encoding.
