This reminds me of the piece (or actually a family of pieces) that used to be called Rhino, before people started to use that symbol and name for the W-then-B. This differs from your Zip by already bending after the first step. (Which is actually more regular; the path you indicate bends at every step except the first.)
It's a little like those, yes; I had similar thoughts, though really I think it's closer to [W?nNN] -- a variation on the modern Rhino. The difference from that is that the Zip's moves are strictly defined, and it can stop halfway through a Knight's leap.
It's that extra orthogonal move at the start that makes this piece distinctive. I do think that it would be an interesting piece to see running around the board.
