Did you test it? Fat vim.zip vs. vim-x11.tar.gz+vim-lite.tar.gz+vim-shared.tar.gz could easily be the same size as vim.zip. Gzip beats out Zip because it does the compression on a larger single file (the tarball) and thus can find larger dictionary/redundancy. The three split out .tar.gz's will have close to the same ability to compress as Zip in this case.
