Do you want to find, 1) some zip files, 2) some files packed in zip files, 3) some content of the files packed in zip files?
There are three levels, and you are not getting in any of them, you are searching for directories, not even files. You are going to find all directories with the name ending with ".zip". Do you really have such directories?

You're not "searching" zip files. That line of code returns all of the directories under the _sourceFile path in the filesystem.

ZIP files are NOT part of the filesystem and so will not be considered part of the directory structure. In order to get the folders inide the ZIP you have to treat it as a ZIP file and use methods that are appropriate for searching inside of a ZIP and extracting the files/folders in it.

What do you mean "search"? What are you trying to get out of the ZIP file?
