I'm using tar and gzip without any problems, I unpacking with this command: 'tar zxvf xxxx.tar.gz' With info-zip I had probelms as you before some months. If I create zip archive on my home computer 486-AMD running on 160MHz I wasn't able decompress because I was corupted. But if I create zip on my school computer (from exactly same files all was fine). Problem was fixed by downloading new version, at this time I'm using (compiled for Win32 box): Zip 2.2 (November 3rd 1997). It's working corecty from Command.com/bash.
