I have a duffel of cordura material with a heavy YKK zipper - looks like
an aluminum slider

It is frozen, possibly as a result of salt water.

Is there any solvent that might work without destroying the fabric?

Thanks in advance.

You might try WD 40

Try PB Blaster instead. It works a *lot* better than WD40. You should be able
to find it at any auto parts store for about five bucks a can.
