Sorry no, you need to use the unzip command (pkunzip should work too).
zip files are a combination of a file globbing and compression (like a tar and gzip combined), gzip files only ever contain one compressed file (and tar files can contain many but are not compressed).
On most systems, /usr/bin/unzip should be present, strange that it's not there on your system
