Make it work *before* you attempt to zip the files. A complete session:

C:\TEMP>tree /a /f test_main_in_zip
Listado de rutas de carpetas para el volumen Cucho
El número de serie del volumen es 007A005F F4EC:16A9
C:\TEMP\TEST_MAIN_IN_ZIP
|   __main__.py

\---pkgA
         foo.py
         __init__.py


C:\TEMP>cd test_main_in_zip

C:\TEMP\test_main_in_zip>type __main__.py
#!/bin/env python

"""This script is the entry point
to the application"""

import sys
import pkgA.foo

def main():
   print "I'm main():"
   print "__name__", __name__
   print "__file__", __file__
   print "sys.path", sys.path[:3], "..."
   print
   pkgA.foo.bar()

main()

C:\TEMP\test_main_in_zip>type pkgA\__init__.py
print "I'm __init__.py"
print "__name__",__name__
print "__file__",__file__
print
C:\TEMP\test_main_in_zip>type pkgA\foo.py
def bar():
   print "I'm bar() inside foo.py:"
   print "__name__",__name__
   print "__file__",__file__
   print
C:\TEMP\test_main_in_zip>python __main__.py
I'm __init__.py
__name__ pkgA
__file__ C:\TEMP\test_main_in_zip\pkgA\__init__.py

I'm main():

sys.path ['C:\\TEMP\\test_main_in_zip',

I'm bar() inside foo.py:
