If you have lesspipe.sh, lesspipe (as is the default on Debian and derivatives, such as Ubuntu, but falls short, among others, displaying archives) or run-mailcap (with a suitable ~/.mailcap file) installed, as by default on Debian (and derivatives such as Ubuntu), add a file plugin/lesspipe.vim into your vimfiles folder ~/.vim or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vim reading

augroup ENDTo ensure that Vim displays the text contained in a Microsoft Office or EPUB document instead of listing the files it archives (by the zipPlugin, see :help zip), edit your .vimrc choosing one of these 2 options:
- either exclude these file types from those handled by
zipPlugin - or disable the 'zipPlugin' altogether
Example of how to exclude some file types from those handled by zipPlugin
Check what is currently handled by the zipPlugin:
echo g:zipPlugin_ext*.aar,*.apk,*.celzip,*.crtx,*.docm,*.docx,*.dotm,*.dotx,*.ear,*.epub,*.gcsx,*.glox,*.gqsx,*.ja,*.jar,*.kmz,*.odb,*.odc,*.od
f,*.odg,*.odi,*.odm,*.odp,*.ods,*.odt,*.otc,*.otf,*.otg,*.oth,*.oti,*.otp,*.ots,*.ott,*.oxt,*.potm,*.potx,*.ppam,*.ppsm,*.p
psx,*.pptm,*.pptx,*.sldx,*.thmx,*.vdw,*.war,*.wsz,*.xap,*.xlam,*.xlam,*.xlsb,*.xlsm,*.xlsx,*.xltm,*.xltx,*.xpi,*.zipRemove the desired extensions, for example, jar?|epub|doc[xm]|xls[xmb]|pp[st][xm], so that they can be handled by lesspipe inside vim
" Remove extensions jar?|epub|doc[xm]|xls[xmb]|pp[st][xm] from g:zipPlugin_ext
" from Sep 13, 2016 and afterwards add back whenever converter unavailable
