If it's possible, what's the command that can be used to uncompress
zip files?

unzip(1)

UNZIP(1L) UNZIP(1L)

NAME
unzip - list, test and extract compressed files in a ZIP
archive

SYNOPSIS
unzip [-Z] [-cflptuvz[abjnoqsCLMVX$/:]] file[.zip]
[file(s) ...] [-x xfile(s) ...] [-d exdir]

DESCRIPTION
unzip will list, test, or extract files from a ZIP
archive, commonly found on MS-DOS systems. The default
behavior (with no options) is to extract into the current
directory (and subdirectories below it) all files from the
specified ZIP archive. A companion program, zip(1L), cre-
ates ZIP archives; both programs are compatible with
archives created by PKWARE's PKZIP and PKUNZIP for MS-DOS,
but in many cases the program options or default behaviors
differ.
