It doesn't seem possible to just simply convert UltraISO ISZ disk images to a compressed ZIP archive. Although sometimes labeled as "zipped" a ISZ format uses ZLIB or BZIP2 compression and not ZIP. You could of course mount or extract the contents of ISZ files with disk image management programs and compress those data to ZIP format, but a program that could directly convert ISZ to ZIP does not most likely not exist.

Understanding ISZ and ZIP file formats
ISZ is a compressed disk image file format, often used to store CD or DVD images. It is an extension of the ISO format, providing additional features like compression and encryption. ISZ files are typically used for efficient storage and transfer of large disk images.
ZIP is a widely-used archive file format that supports lossless data compression. It allows multiple files to be combined into a single archive, making it easier to store and share. ZIP files are commonly used for reducing file size and bundling related files together.
