That /vsizip/ reports the file list when opening a .zip as a file is mostly a
questionable convenience.

For what you want to do, a simple "unzip -l the.zip" will do the job just fine.
If you want to stay in GDAL world, the following will also do:

python gdal_ls.py -r /vsizip/the.zip

with gdal_ls.py at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OSGeo/gdal/master/gdal/swig/python/samples/gdal_ls.py

This is mostly useful for remote zips, where you would access a /vsizip//vsicurl/.... , to
avoid downloading them.
