I'm sure it's lurking around somewhere, but I confess I didn't spend time hunting around for it! @Charles: That’s the problem - BOMArchiveHelper wasn’t in my “Open With” list, and when I clicked “Other” to open the file browser, I couldn’t find BOMArchiveHelper in the Applications folder.

Either of these apps should appear automatically as a choice when you Get Info and change the "Open With" popup.

To do that, simply select a zip file, Get Info on it, select the application you DO want to use to open zip files, save, and done. There are still many files that OS X can't open by default, but StuffIt can, such as .rar.
