This is a very old post. If you have issues installing zip, you should provide the details of your issue, and perhaps create a new post, unless you are seeking resolution to the same erors and file versions.
Note that zip requires bzip2, which requires libgcc.
If you have a product that requires zip, you can ask for their recommendations. I thought that the IBM products with lib4j eventually provided guidance to obtain zip last year.

Did it work? What version of Aix are you using?

Hi!
I think the easiest solution would be to install zip from the AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software. If you don't want to use the full potential with dnf package management or your system has no internet access, it should be good enough to download the zip rpm package, and install it via rpm. I think the only dependency you will require to download, too, would be bzip2.
Best regards,
Alexander
