Icon view is not optimal for archives. Remember that many document types are thumbnailed (such as PDF and videos). If we are going to treat archives as regular folders in Nautilus, it would mean that files would have to be extracted (so the thumbnails can be generated) when you merely browse the archive contents.
While the varying opinions on how to change archive management on Ubuntu are worth discussing, the solutions proposed here seem too complicated to be treated as paper cuts.
