I don't know if there's anything better than a zip. For our website[0] which includes a bunch of docs for our game engine, Zig packages, etc. we just offer a link "offline version of this site" in the footer which is an ~80MB zip file.
I think the challenge with zip files is.. do you want all the images? do you want all versions of the docs, or just a specific version of the docs? It's hard to tailor the zip to the user's desire. But zip still seems to be the best.

I used to get a lot of good mileage out of firefox's ability to render sites out of zip files as in jar:file:///home/foo/site.zip!/index.html but they nuked that pretty recently :-(
