Bug Description

File Roller 3.16.5, running on Ubuntu 16.4.1 LTS 64-bit
When trying to rename a file in a zip-archive, FR shows a message "An error occurred while renaming the files."

When trying to delete a file (or group of files): "An error occurred while deleting files from the archive."

In both cases, the zip file is unchanged as a result.
As a workaround (and also a way to confirm that the zip file itself is not damaged), I use WinZip running on Wine.

Happens here, as well. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Zipping works fine but cannot delete files from an existing zip archive.
