Hi Luciano,
The OAI Pack product is actively supported (I don't whether it's 'more'.... :-)

We've had contact with the ZOpenArchives guys. AFAIK, the main
functional difference is ZOpenArchives provides storage for the
'server' in the ZODB, whereas we have assumed (and built) separate
storage servers for the documents, and implemented the
harvesting/search in Zope.

Currently we're completing a Document Library application, written in
Zope3, that supports metadata harvesting with OAI-PMH. This was
presented at the PloneConf in Vienna in september. It'll be released
in the next month or so.
