You definitely need to install the device driver for the ZIP onto the IIci to get it to work there, If you can do this, then the ZIP is the simplest solution.
You probably need the Iomega Device Driver 4.x or 5.x, which is an extension to put in the system folder. The versions on the Iomega website are newer and may not work, depending on the OS version installed on the IIci. (Note that the Iomegaware bundles use a different numbering system from the individual Iomega Device Driver extensions.
In any case, if you download the necessary drivers, you still need a way to get them onto the IIci.
Do you have Stuffit Expander or Stuffit installed on the IIci? If so, then you can download the following file to a PC with a PC formatted floppy.

The IIci can read the floppy (I believe it uses a utility called PC exchange that comes with the system) and then expand the file. Because the file is hqx encoded, it will survive the journey on a PC formatted disk.
If not, I do have the installer for the Iomega Device Driver 4.3 and corresponding ZIP tools on my TAM. I could send you a copy on a floppy if need be.
