This would look good too.
To be accurate, zipfile will create ZIP files that use the ZIP64 extensions when:
* It contains more than 65535 files.
* It is larger than 2 GiB. More accurate, when either the offset or the size of the central directory is larger than 2 GiB, so in theory it is possible to exceed the total size of 2 GiB without using ZIP64.
* The original size of any file is larger than 2 GiB.
I'm not sure we should describe the behavior in all details.
