Can splunk found a log file if it is present in zip folder?

[saibal6]

I have yearly multiple folders which were zipped except the present year folder. Each and every folder has a specific log file. But I want to monitor those log files from this year. So can anyone tell me if I only mentioned a path where all zipped folders are present and instruct to find a specific log file. So splunk can able to access the zipped folder or just simple finding those log files from ordinary folders?

[Note : If any specific docs are available then please share the link ]
