It's not really clear from your question what you're doing - but if you're just trying to avoid saving to disk and then reloading to get the data, just save to a MemoryStream:

byte[] data;
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
    zipFile.Save(ms);
    data = ms.ToArray();
}
// Do whatever with data.

Alternatively, use MemoryStream.GetBuffer() to avoid making another copy:

byte[] buffer;
int length;
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
    zipFile.Save(ms);
    buffer = ms.ToArray();
    length = ms.Length;
}

// Now use buffer, but only up to "length"...
