I had a little too much faith in ZIP, but 7zip is a winner. I
downloaded UPX and used to extract the latest version of setup. Here
are the file sizes following re-compression with 7-zip for the
original setup and the re-compressed .7z and .zip outputs:
1,381,395 setup-x86_64.exe - 100%
1,319,604 setup-x86_64.7z - 96%
1,795,036 setup-x86_64.zip - 130%
