The total expanded size of the entire contents of a single .zip archive 
can not exceed 2 Gig. You really want to split the .zip archive up into 
it's component files, each of which can then be compressed separately if 
you want. This is tedious, but possible to do, after the fact, much 
easier to do if you don't combine multiple log files into a single .zip 
archive in the first place.

If a single .zip archive contains logs from different machines in a 
server cluster, it is especially important that you split them up before 
giving them to Summary. The visit tracking across different machines in a 
cluster feature will not work if the logs are contained in a single .zip 
archive file.

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
