Yes I'd rather deal with a simple out of disk space error than perform some acrobatics to "safely" unzip a potential zip bomb.
Also zip bombs are not comically large until you unzip them.
Also you can just unpack any sort of compressed file format without giving any thought to whether you are handling it safely.
I'd put fake paper namers (doi.numbers.whatever.zip) in order to quickly keep their attention, among a robots.txt file for a /papers subdirectory to 'disallow' it. Add some index.html with links to fake 'papers' and in a week these crawlers will blacklist your like crazy.
