triaging old discussions...

i'll close this since we already printing zip info under the --verbose flag for deploys:

Regarding finding the zip that's deployed, you can set the SF_MDAPI_TEMP_DIR=<dir> env var to keep the contents of the metadata to be deployed (recommended for debugging, you shouldn't use it in prod deployments as it might affect performance)
