We need a web server that transparently reads static files in a zip archive as pages. There is no such thing?

Hello.
I am writing documentation for an application. There are a lot of pages. I want to pack everything into one zip file and put it on "some" web server that can "transparently" see the contents of the zip archive. Everything is static, in the sense there is no server part. Only html, js, pictures. Is there something of such a strange server in mind?
PS
There will be a few more or even many such helpers. I don't want to mix them up. Let there be several zip archives.
PPS
The resulting html/js/images are generated from another application, so the final html/js/images are never edited by hand (in case there is a question, "but it's more convenient to edit the sources directly in html, so for support purposes keep them unpacked" - final html cannot be edited by hand, when changing the source, all material is completely rewritten in the final directory).

remembered that the war-archive is the most real zip-archive. One of the lightweight servers for this kind of files is tomcat. You can get war like this:
The result looks like this (list of help pages on the left):
Several settings for tomcat:
I got such file sets after working with "zim wiki desktop" and "adobe captivate". Thank you for your attention.
