Typing:
Code:

apt-cache search unzip
shows (amongst others):
Code:

unzip - De-archiver for .zip files
Try installing that one, then do:
Code:

man unzip
to find out how to use it.

You also might want to do:

apt-get install unp

unp is a frontend for various archivers. Sure you still need unzip, gzip et.al. installed but then you simply say:

unp file.zip

unp file.tgz

unp file.bz2

etc. etc.....

You might even just right click on the file and select 'Extract here'. See if your desktop can figure it out.
