Bash to add unique prefix to extracted zip folder

In the bash below in each .zip there is a folder to be extracted Variants that I am trying to make unique by adding the prefix, before the _ from the .zip. The script does execute, but the prefix is not added to the extracted folder. Rather the Variants folder is added to each file within it. Thank you Smilie.

bash
Code:
for z in /home/cmccabe/tmp/*.zip; do ## start loop
    unzip "$z";  ## unzip all .zip files
    mv "$(unzip -Z1 $z)" "${z%%_*}";  ## grab prefix before _ and add to the extraced .zip
rm "$z"  ## remove original .zip
done  ## end processing


/home/cmccabe/tmp
Code:
19-0000-LastName-FirstName_v1_c91a684a-0a9c-4632-9b60-91f0d337f51d.zip --- top level ---
     Variants   --- folder to be extracted ---
19-0002-L-F_v1_d870b844-b72e-49c4-89c4-471f90dd8724.zip   --- top level --
     Variants   --- folder to be extracted ---

desired output --- zip extracted ---
Code:
     19-0000-LastName-FirstName-Variants   --- extracted folder w/ prefix ---
     19-0002-L-F-Variants   --- extracted folder w/ prefix ---

example after executing currently --- one of 5 files, all extated in the same way ---
Code:
 inflating: Variants/19-0000-LastName-FirstName_v1/19-0000-LastName-FirstName_v1_Non-Filtered_2019-03-21_08:12:52-xxxx.tsv
