Unable to unzip .zip file on linux machine

Actually, 7-zip should makes this well, you can install it by:
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
Then, you can extract your zip file as follows:
7z e file.zip

I have a large ~10GB zip file that was created using the standard Windows method (right click, select "send to compressed (zipped) folder"). I am able to unzip it just file on my Macbook.
I'm trying to unzip it on an EC2 machine. I know the file is a zip file because when I run
file file.zip
it says:file.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
Running
unzip
returns the following error:Archive: file.zip warning [file.zip]: 3082769992 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile (attempting to process anyway) error [file.zip]: start of central directory not found; zipfile corrupt. (please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)
Running
tar xvf file.zip
returns the following:tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains `<{\204\027\333"D\344\210\321o\331' where numeric off_t value expected tar: Archive contains `S\354\202},F\3546\276[\265\273' where numeric time_t value expected tar: Archive contains ``3c\254\372$:e' where numeric uid_t value expected tar: Archive contains `\265\306\025+ܫL\352' where numeric gid_t value expected ...etc
Does anyone know what might be going wrong?

TomBomb almost 5 yearsThanks for the answer. Tried 7-zip and got much farther, though it still failed in the end. The initial scan of the zip resulted in "ERRORS: Headers Error" The unzip gets most of the way through (~75%) before saying "ERROR: E_FAIL, Archives with Errors: 1, Open Errors: 1" I'm expecting about 88,000 files and I end up with ~55k
