Not sure about that: they could be Python users wanting to unpack a tarball sdist. That said, there is no harm in being compatible, and I like your small list of options.
FTR Lars said that he prefered compat with the zipfile CLI, which is:
Usage:
zipfile.py -l zipfile.zip # Show listing of a zipfile
zipfile.py -t zipfile.zip # Test if a zipfile is valid
zipfile.py -e zipfile.zip target # Extract zipfile into target dir
zipfile.py -c zipfile.zip src ... # Create zipfile from sources
