/tmp or /private/var/tmp isn't a really great place for saving
things in general. It's all thrown out when you restart
This is exactly the reason why you should store temporary files there.
At any rate, I don't think we should be making assumptions about
how this code will work. We don't know if the data he's zipping is
the user's data; ...
If you don't intend to remove the files automatically after being
done, you really should ask the user where to store the stuff.
Nothing worse than a user hobbled in her work due to one of her apps
filling up the disk silently. Even in the days of 100+ GB platters,
file systems tend to be filled up to just under the roof.

Pardon? Did you ever hear of apps stored on read-only file systems?
Maybe you have a different meaning for "Applications suites folder",
though. Apple's docs don't know this term.
This way the files aren't deleted if the operating system is halted
or interrupts.
But there's a good chance they're corrupted.
There isn't any reason to halt a Mac OS X system intentionally, other
than to activate OS updates or to put the Mac down into the basement
for weeks. So, if the system ever is rebooted, it's likely due to
some misfunction.
Just a few thoughts ...
