Have you simply asked MC to "Import" them?  There are several ways.

Start with File > Library > Import and go to either "Import a single folder" or "Configure Auto-import."

You can also drag the files into the "Play Doctor" window in the "Playing Now" screen and choose one of choices in the pop-up window: Play, Import, Add to Playing Now.

Bryant - I'm kind of guessing that you have "Enabled Shell Integration" in MC and Windows Explorer is "Wrongly informing you that MC can play Zip Files"; it will also wrongly inform you that MC can also "Play It's Own Install File".

For MC to be able to see, play and import the Flac files within held in a Zip File you have to Extract those files to a Folder, once you have done that MC will be able to play and import the files from that folder.
