A file manager to open a zip file like opening a folder, instead of extract it by using a archive manager

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?

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...
