I know I can mount a single zip file as a directory for read-only access (Mount zip file as a read-only filesystem) but if I have a directory (or a directory tree) containing many zip files, is there a way to mount it as an unzipped directory tree ? For instance:

A/AAA.zip
A/BBB.zip
B/0123.tgz
B/2345.gz

would be seen as:

A/AAA/file1
A/AAA/file2
A/BBB/bigfile
etc...

I'm trying to convince the organizers of the data to unzip everything to a compressed partition so it would use basically the same space but be a lot easier to retrieve, but just in case there is a way to do this, I'm interested.

I discovered AVFS which seems to do what I want. You just run mountavfs and then find unzipped versions of the file in a filesystem hierarchy in ~/.afvs
