I have a small disk space and I want to save every MB of it.
I need only to read zip files without any editing.
But reading it in a archive manager is unfriendly and lengthy, extracting zip file is to wast space very much.
Mounting clouds to add space have a very low speed.
The only way I thinked is to use a file manager which is able to open a zip file like opening a only-read folder.
Any way else?

Actually I don't understand what is the issue with Archive Manager, it simply shows you the files of.zipno need to extract it just click on the file and read.

If you want everything to be opened in one window you can use Double Commander alike file manager tools. If you are familiar with Total Commander, you'll get use to it quickly.
Example:

For GTK
sudo apt-get install doublecmd-gtk
For QT
sudo apt-get install doublecmd-qt

The Dolphin file manager works that way(*). But installing it may bring in parts of the KDE desktop or the Qt library, so you may have to sacrifice more disk space...
(*) the Gwenview image viewer will also show you pictures in a ZIP
