The solution that worked for me (I'm not sure if it is ideal, it seems rather hackish) was to switch to the deploy:deploy-file goal:

    maven-deploy-plugin
    2.6
    
        deploy-file
    
    
        artifactory
        zip
        true
        ${project.distributionManagement.snapshotRepository.url}
        ${project.artifactId}
        ${project.groupId}
        ${project.version}
        ${WORKSPACE}/MyZip.zip
    

and invoke it explicitly:

mvn -U -X -pl projectname clean install deploy:deploy-file
