[Bug-tar] tar -tvf myarchive.zip --gunzip does not work

Hello,
I created the myarchive.zip using a zip utility, directly zipped; no tar is used here.
 
Now I want to use tar to unzip it. When I run above command, it ends up with following error:
-------------------
gzip: stdin has more than one entry--rest ignored
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
--------------------
is it not allowed to list/unzip files using tar when the compression is done by zip? Or I need to use some other options. The Manual says with -gunzip, tar browse the files with gunzip for any operations like -t, -x etc. 
Even commands like following fails:
--------------------
tar -tvf myarchive.zip -z --gunzip
--------------------
Please let me know if it's a known issue/bug. 
 
Thank you a lot.
