.zip software
 

Is there any software that can allow me to see and use .zip files?

You can use
less filename.zip
to view contents of zip file

emacs filename.zip
to open zip file and view contents

zipgrep "pattern" filename.zip

to find text inside zip file .

Also unzip and zip are the commands for extracting and zipping files.

But is this what u really want?

file-roller or gnozip if you want GUI.
zip and unzip if you use command-line.

if using KDE you can use ark.
