It sort of depends on what functionality that particular plug-in provides, which I haven't personally explored. My original thinking though was that you might need to simply unzip everything, delete the things you don't want, then create the new zip file out of the resulting files/folders.

So my process model starts by extracting the content, is there a way I can limit what gets extracted?

I'd guess you might be able to fufill this need by using one plug-in (like "advanced unzipper") to extract all contents of a zip file to a new/temp folder in the local Appian system, then another plugin ("add documents to zip" or "document zipper" perhaps) to add the folders/files you want to keep to a new .zip package.
