Aside from unzip -l, do I have any non-command line options for viewing an archive's contents on Mac OS X?

There's also Zipeg.app.
Zipeg is an absolutely free universal .rar and .zip file opener. This tiny but mighty utility also opens .tar, .tgz, .bzip2 and many other compressed archives. Zipeg is very simple and intuitive to use and works on Snow Leopard, Leopard and Tiger on both Intel and PowerPC macs. Zipeg supports password protected and multipart zip and rar files.

It doesn't support .exe rar files – Jaime Agudo – 2014-10-29T12:53:42.250
now it requires java se 6, which is not easily available. – 象嘉道 – 2015-10-08T19:35:50.203
This, as well as the commercial software by the same name, and its competitors. – Daniel Beck – 2010-10-05T21:45:21.287
@fideli, thanks, checking it out now. I wonder how it'll play with pathfinder, and also why I didn't ask that in the question :) – Dan Rosenstark – 2010-10-05T23:21:54.557
@Daniel Beck, its competitors? Who would that be? – Dan Rosenstark – 2010-10-05T23:22:11.243
wow, I think that Pathfinder already has this with QuickLook. – Dan Rosenstark – 2010-10-05T23:23:51.427
1@Yar - zipQuickLook for one.. I know there are others as I have something different (but I'm not on my mac atm) – JT.WK – 2010-10-05T23:27:26.587
1BetterZip works perfectly in Path Finder. – fideli – 2010-10-05T23:29:27.893
Thanks Fideli, I had kind of forgotten about the QuickLook feature. – Dan Rosenstark – 2010-10-06T00:10:28.847

@Yar: via iusethis, I found both iArchiver (possibly more limited) and Springy (both untested, since I have Betterzip). I don't like the signup requirement of the Stuffit folks, but they might also offer something like this.
