The encoded filenames would not be compatible with winzip, windows unpacking and similar tools. It would not be also trivial to implement if infozip binary used on server (files would have to be copied to temp area, renamed and zipped there).

Partial solution could be:
1/ Support unicode in student submitted files only - we store these files in moddata, we do not need the real filenames in the filesystem, we could store them in database instead
2/ Move resource files into moddata and do the same as 1/

I hope the file handling will be reworked in 2.0, we could also obsolete both current zipping methods and used the builtin zipping from PHP 5.2
