Unzipping .zip files under Linux (watch out for zip-split)

In addition to the answers you recieved, I have a comment:

It's possible some newer ZIP files created with PK-Zip (not WinZIP), cannot be read by Linux zip. This occurs with "zip-split" files. zip-split is a recent extension to the format by pkzip (not even WinZIP supports it at this time).

Usually zip-split files contain a series of .zip files. If you have only one file, it certainly is not zip-split.
