You'll need to be more specific...

1) How big is the zip file and how many files does it contain?
2) How long does the operation take?
3) Is the zip file on a local hard disk or is it located on on a network 
drive or even a USB flash drive.

Normally, deleting files within a zip archive is implemented by copying 
the required contents to a new zip file, deleting the old zip file and 
then moving or renaming the new zip file.

It is conceivably possible that antivirus software might be causing a 
problem by repeatedly rescanning the same file.
