You are probably using an old version of Zip.  The latest ones preserve 
case (look into the zips of Text/File-utils I've made: they all include 
files with mixed case, and I did this on native DOS).

Btw, here's what I do to make case-sensitive zips on MSDOS:

	- create a listing of the original distribution using DJTAR
	- edit it to change the directory name of the root of the package 
installation (e.g. fileutils-3.13 -> gnu/filutil3.13)
	- change some names that are illegal on MSDOS even if truncated, 
or will clash when truncated (e.g. fileutils.info-3 -> fileutils.i3) 
using the tarchang file created by DJTAR
	- add the names of DOS-specific files that I add to the package 
while porting
	- invoke Zip with the resulting file as a response file:

		zip -9 @files.lst
