I have just had the same problem in Windows Vista Ultimate.

I solved the issue by simply using WinRar to unzip the Zip folder.

I installed WinRar and then right clicked on the Zip Folder, clicked Oopen With... Then I browsed to c:\program files/winrar/winrar.exe and then selected Winrar from the list of programs when it appeared!

It then unzipped with no problems!

Winrar is avalibale free from Download.com

Hope this helps!
