Do I have to get the entire zip file into memory before extracting?  Should I be concerned how much memory this could require?  Is there a better way?

If the binary ZIP file is URL encoded then it is a big mess.

If the binary zip file is present as binary data, then I think you can
change from:

ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(new 
ByteArrayInputStream(EntityUtils.toByteArray(entity)));

to:

ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(entity.getContent());

(code simplified)
