Thanks for testing! Indeed, we need an additional fix for zipped `.glTF` files as well: [Editor: Fix loading zip files with `.glTF`. by Mugen87 · Pull Request #27337 · mrdoob/three.js · GitHub](https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pull/27337)

Thanks for handling issue.

PS: One more tiny thing, in case of glb zip the colors are not applied as well (should be like on screenshot).
