Well, it's you who wants to use partly ported Linux programs on Windows :)

("Partly ported" in that they don't seem to be adapted to handle
Windows-style quoting.)

I think if you want to use Linux ports of compression tools on Windows, it
probably makes sense to use a port of a Linux shell. This may give you less
trouble, as the quoting probably is more consistent.

Or you use a proper Windows zipper in a Windows shell. Did you try 7-zip
(is said to work also on the command line)? Or the WinZip command line
tool? I think using a zipper that understands Windows-style quoting goes a
long way to make this work.

Maybe you are... I haven't yet zipped a whole disk, not in parts and not
otherwise.
