Do the files simply not show up between the two if you put the Zip disk in the drive(s)? |

Use FAT formatted disks. On the Amiga you can use CrossDOS or FAT95 to read them. No need for UAE.

CrossDOS is included in Workbench since version 2.1. You need a mount file in Devs/DosDrivers for the ZIP drive. There are various example DosDrivers on Aminet.
FAT95 is on Aminet, too. It supports long file names and comes with detailed documentation. |
