I wrote a Rust command-line tool to do this for internal use in my SaaS. The motivation was to be able to index the contents of zip files stored on S3 without incurring significant egress charges. Is this something that people would generally find useful if it was open-sourced?

Yes, the motivation to explore was something similar. I was curious if downloading ZIP files could be made more efficient over the web.
