Possible software with support for converting of xap files to zip file format.
By all accounts, old Silverlight packages (.xap) are already ZIP files, so there is no reason for further xap to zip conversion. If you want to, you can simply rename the suffix from xap to zip and decompress the contents.
But most tools that can work with Silverlight packages should recognize them regardless of their extension simply by the unique structure of content (AppManifest.xaml and dll libraries).
