I've run into this with Solaris and AIX. The gunzip command, which supports large files, will uncompress the first file in a ZIP archive ignoring all others (if present):
gunzip -c file.zip > filename
You're in luck if zip was used for compression only -- that is, one file. If multiple files are in the archive, then you will probably need to transfer the file to *gulp* a Windows platform, unzip it there using WinZIP, and return the constituent files to your Linux box.
