Mono for Android - ZIP data compression

I'm trying to decompress some large file sent by a server and then, after some processing, send the file back compressed to the server, using always the ZIP format.

I want to know whether there is some zip compression/decompression utility method I can use within my code in order to accomplish the latter in a few lines.

I'm aware of solutions like DotNetZip or SharpZipLib, yet I would like to avoid the use of external libraries or having to keep track of extra .dll’s.

Apparently there is no compression/decompression utility method built-in in Mono For Android based on the ZIP format, so I ended up integrating SharpZipLib to my project and using the InflaterInputStream.Read() method, which works great for me, as referenced in the following link:
