Is it the normal behavior or am I making something wrong ?

I don't know if it's normal for the zip command, but what you're seeing is a failure to handle resource files correctly. IMO you're better off using the ditto command, something like:

do shell script ("ditto -xk " and quoted form of "/path/to/Name.zip" & space & quoted form of "/path/to/Name")

Thanks Shane

I never took care to the fact that ditto is able to expand an archive :-(

I edited the instruction a bit so that the archive and expanded folder are in the same folder.

set theZip to ((path to documents folder as text) & "myFolder:my Kontainer.zip" as alias)
tell application "System Events"
set archiveContainer to path of container of theZip
end tell
set quotedPOSIXZip to quoted form of POSIX path of theZip
set quotedPOSIXarchiveContainer to quoted form of POSIX path of archiveContainer

do shell script ("ditto -xk " & quotedPOSIXZip & space & quotedPOSIXarchiveContainer)
