Latest Release
New features in UnZip 6.0, released 20 April 2009:
• Support PKWARE ZIP64 extensions, allowing Zip archives and Zip
archive entries larger than 4 GiBytes and more than 65536 entries

• Support for bzip2 compression method.

Also you can make this work with Unzip 5.x if you recompile with a
particular flag:

A separate question but: to create these I think you will want Zip 3.0:

I don't see either of these available for CentOS via "yum" or on Dag's
repos.
It may or may not be trivial to compile these from source on CentOS,
some libraries on CentOS I've noticed are rather dated.
In terms of time spent, you may wish to set up a live *BSD just unpack
these, if that's all you need to do. You may still end up building
from source depending on what e.g. FreeBSD ships with, but the BSDs
are set up with building your own items from source in mind.
Hope that helps!
