Thank you Even, my issue was the full path requirement.  I will document 
this now.

Below is my working layer (with MS4W 3.1.4 / MapServer 7.0.1) :

LAYER
   NAME "testzip"
   TYPE POLYGON
   STATUS ON
   CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
   CONNECTION "/vsizip/D:/ms4w/apps/test/test.zip"
   DATA "test"
   CLASS
     NAME "test"
     STYLE
       COLOR 240 240 240
       OUTLINECOLOR 199 199 199
     END
   END
END # layer
