How to read a zipped file without unzipping it

I am dealing with a large number of zipped files. If I unzip each file (unzip function writes the extracted big file somewhere), it takes a quite long time. Is there any way to read the file within the zip directly without extracting and writing out the file? Can anyone help with this?

Thanks for the link, but it seems that the link doesn't give an answer to my question. I would like to directly read the contents of the file within the zip file without unzipping it.
