You could try using the unzip command through Terminal.
The command would be: unzip -P password file.zip
You would replace "password" with the password for the file and "file.zip" to the file itself.
Afterwards, I'd run this command too: cat /dev/null > ~/.bash_history
That will delete the BASH history, so people can't scroll up the history of the commands you ran in Terminal and see password you entered, as it will be stored in plain text. Alternatively, you can open the .bash_history and delete the unzip line in there separately if you don't want to delete the whole history.
