Zip files tend to be virus loaded files, stay away from them, even though you are a Mac user.

MacOSX has it's own built in Zipper & unzipper with various names depending on which OSX version you are using. In Snow Leopard it's simply called Archive Utility.
Select the zip file in finder, go to file menu & choose Open With & at top should be the OSX archive utility. :)

But UKBobboy01 is right, you do need to be careful with zip files. Though OSX is unaffected by virus.

Not very commonly but once in a blue moon you find mac files that are RAR. Or it might be a music or other type of file that has been archived into a RAR file. For those I recommend UnRarX which is a free utility for OSX.
(there seems to be a unrarx 2.2 (interface version) & 3.2 (command line version) possibly created by different people, one originally windows. I use the 2.2 version & gave you that url instead.)
