Thanks for telling us, it makes sense now.  In fact, I'm seeing a very
similar problem on MS-Windows, where unzip also doesn't support UTF-8
file names (for different reasons), while on GNU/Linux everything
works as expected with your example zip file.

So I think we can close this bug, as this is not an Emacs bug.  For
extracting files from the zip archives, we rely on the unzip program.
