You followed the very right procedure, I've been threw this right before I write this answer, and as for this is the first result that shows up when you Google the problem, I think that many people will find it handy and save their time, the solutions is:

UNZIP the JavaDoc.zip file that you are referring to ( which is supposed to be jdk-7u4-apidocs.zip for JavaSE 7 docs) and repeat the same procedure, which is Tools --> Java Platforms --> Javadoc ( tab ) then press " Add Zip/Folder, and point to the unzipped folder instead of the zipped one, restart NetBeans, and it will work smooth and direct.

You should download the docs file from the following link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/java-se-7-doc-download-435117.html

After completing the described operation, you will have your javadocs available offline, and you don't need to be connected to the internet to know about APIs.
