I have done this using the wscript.shell object's .run method and
passing it a command string to invoke pkzip25.exe or you can use
winzip8.0 if you have the command line extensions intalled.
dim shell
set shell = createobject("wscript.shell")
cmdstr = "pkzip25" & " -extract" & " myfile.zip"
test = shell.run (cmdstr, 0, true)
if test = 0 then
wscript.echo "success"
end if
