There is a console zip decompressor called unzip. It's a simple, straight forward non graphical tool.

Open a window and at the prompt, just type unzip -x "filename" -or- man unzip (for more info!) Lawrence

There are also some graphical tools (eg KArchiver) but I've found the command line version as above much easier to use. NB You can also get linux command line versions of ace, rar etc.

Try to asociate .zip files to KArchiver if you want to use graphical tool directly from Nautilus.
