My application uses wzZipInputStream to extract the files from a zip file. This works fine for files below 2GB but for large files GetNextEntry returns null.
I am using 2.8.4 on Windows.

Just a hint : what is your file system ?
FAT32 has a 2GB file limit.

I believe that zip format now has a limit of 4GB, as 7-zip can extract the files contained in the zip file.

Yeah, but that's an extension. The orginal ZIP-Spec uses a signed integer.
So my guess would be that wx implemented it's Zip-Routines from the original Zip-Docs.
