All:
I'm working on re-archiving the CPMUG ARKives into ZIP files
and I've encountered a few files with filenames containing invalid
characters in DOS (primarily the "/" character). I can extract with
wildcards but the de-archiver (arce40g) doesn't seem to allow renaming
on extraction, so I can't extract and rename at the same time.
Any idea on how do accomplish this?

How about hexediting the ARK files, or writing a little program to go through
them, read in the filenames and make them DOS compatible?
I'd probably do the latter. I think the ARK format might be on

Well, if you use 22NICE to do the uncrunching, non-DOS conforming names
are automatically converted to conforming ones by substitution of '#' for
the illegal characters. There is the potential for collision, however
small.
