ZIP files are accessed from Compression softwares. Following is a list of FREE Compression softwares:

http://download.cnet.com/windows/file-compression/?filter=licenseName%3D%22Free%22|&filterName=licenseName%3DFree|&tag=narrow

Download & Install the software you like, then you can open your zip files.

Check and tell if its working.
