I think that the most recent version should be sufficient. I don't think Java would break backwards compatibility: users wouldn't be happy if their old jar suddenly stops working on a new JVM.
Why an outdated and inefficient ZIP format, after all? 7zip is incompatible to JVM, should it be a better choice for archive uploads? Or, that is too hard to parse on PHP side (I gueses console exec is required)?
We don't necessarily want ZIP uploads at Wikimedia, but it's not unreasonable to want to upload OpenOffice documents. Since the OO formats are ZIP-like, blocking ZIPs blocks those too.
