I wrote about this zip/memory issue in the forums too [1].
Here's some part of the description:
"It turns out my computer was literally running out of memory as the file was getting unzipped. For some reason to uncompress a 1-gig file with uncompressed size of 4-gig, Zip Archive of D-Lang tries to use more than 16 gig of RAM. I don't know why. Maybe I missed something. I use a Windows 10, DMD v2.091 with x86_mscoff.
My work around was to call 7z from D Lang and do the compression over there. That worked like a charm.
It seems that zip.d [1] calls uncompress routine from zlib.d [2]. Would calling zlib uncompress by chunks solve this memory issue? Any ideas?"

Have you tested several files? Does it work with smaller ones like around 400 MB? Just trying to pinpoint the problem.

I'll take a look into testing with a smaller file. Need a couple of days though :)
