WinZip 7 doesn't like LHA files at all. You end up doing in manually, with
the command that tells LHA to ignore "special attribures." The PC version
also won't recognize the .lha, it expects .lzh.
You are best off to unarc the files on the Amiga, so the MS-Dos limits don't
trash your filenames, or flags. It'll save you a lot of problems later.
Just zip all your LHA files together, copy them to a disk, and then unzip
them onto your Amiga's HD. (That will prevent the filenames from being
trashed by the 8+3 filenames the OS supplied version of CrossDos...
