The approximately equivalent to mount options is the env parameters
specified to the newFileSystem. There aren't any standard options defined.
The zip provider of course can of course create read-only or read-write
file systems. It decides based on whether whether the zip file is
writable or not. It would have been better to have it exposed, and would
be trivial to do of course.
