You obviously want to get the rust off the zipper without scraping up
the vinyl. Perhaps one of those toothbrush-size wire brushes in the
welding aisle of your local home-center. To lubricate, use a bar of
soap, or a candle, and rub the soap or wax on either side of the
zipper. I've dealt with some pretty grody sweat-corroded zippers on
costumes. Mainly, be patient.
