Resolution
In order to get the contents of a zip file for conversion, the filename of the files inside the archive must be explicitly specified. 

If the the converter is to be used, it must be against a single file . 

DDXQ has explicit code to support the "zip" protocol for this purpose; this is not a normal part of Java. 

It might be possible to use the "jar:" protocol, since .jar and .zip files share a common structure. 

So, in order to process a jar or zip with multiple files, multiple conversion lines need to be generated, such as the following: 

converter:JSON?jar:file:/D:/TestInput.zip!/filename1.json
converter:JSON?jar:file:/D:/TestInput.zip!/filename2.json
converter:JSON?jar:file:/D:/TestInput.zip!/filename3.json
converter:JSON?jar:file:/D:/TestInput.zip!/filename4.json
converter:JSON?jar:file:/D:/TestInput.zip!/filename5.json
