Yes, of course; this list will not allow me an attachment, but you  
can download it from
<http://www.creativeeyes.at/tools/sw/ 
remove_OSX_files_from_zip.plist.zip>
This can then be imported into On My Command (using OMCEdit).
The actual shell command is

zip -d "__OBJ_PATH__" "._*" "*/._*" .DS_Store "*/.DS_Store" __MACOSX/  
"__MACOSX/.*"

where __OBJ_PATH__ is the zip file's path; in a shell script this  
would be

zip -d "$1" "._*" "*/._*" .DS_Store "*/.DS_Store" __MACOSX/  
"__MACOSX/.*"

I haven't tested it with deep folder hierarchies. Please let me know  
if (no, how) this can be improved, by the way…
Some day, when I will have made myself familiar with Automator, an  
Automator action will follow :-)
