You should never zip or 7zip or rar or anything else .chd files. They have internal compression (so you won't gain any significant space anyway), and putting them in a zip or 7zip defeats the ability of MAME to stream the data and forces the file to be unpacked into memory which will take hundreds of megs for area51.
