Zip 2.3 works correctly:
$ (umask 0; zip test.zip feedlist.opml; ls -l test.zip; rm test.zip)
  adding: feedlist.opml (deflated 80%)
-rw-rw-rw- 1 lupe lupe 3156 Aug 4 10:52 test.zip
$ (umask 077; zip test.zip feedlist.opml; ls -l test.zip; rm test.zip)
  adding: feedlist.opml (deflated 80%)
-rw------- 1 lupe lupe 3156 Aug 4 10:52 test.zip

HTH,
