To solve the issue with double-click resulting in an undesired action (full decompression), you then have to choose from one of the options listed here your favourite method. Although that last feature seems to be judged as not that stable by the developer, as it's turned off by default: without setting any preferences it defaults to 'mount' archives read-only. If you 'install' that application and drag its icon also to the Finder toolbar, (in macOS this was made slightly more complicated: hold Cmd and then drag the app to the toolbar until you see a plus sign) you have a convenient, low-cost solution, that allows you to look inside the archives, extract single files as needed and even manipulate the contents without a full decompression (and/or re-compression). If a seamless usage is the goal but the manual setup sounds too complicated for that, then it's worth to take a look at ivoronin/ArchiveMounter: Unlike KIO or Gnome VFS, it can be used in any application without modifications.
With fuse-zip you really can work with ZIP archives as real directories. Use-zip is a FUSE file system to navigate, extract, create and modify ZIP and ZIP64 archives based on libzip implemented in C++. Most closely resembling your previous experience in use, but not in setting it up, would of course be to combine with One alternative worth looking into would be PathFinder: unlike Finder the workflow "Get Info">"Preview" in PathFinder offers not just a big icon, but also a preview of what's inside. Of course, if you are serious about file management, you'd have to ditch the overly limited Finder.app and use professional software to that end. Manipulating files within an archive is limited.
To use it, slect a zip-file and hit Space. The full app is 30-day trialware, but the QuickLook part will still be available after that period has elapsed.

You may however install a QuickLook generator to do that Previewing contents of zip files in the GUI is not available within macOS as it ships out.
