I thought it would behave like you expected – always create a subdir for
each ZIP. I could reproduce that it does not. So I looked at Ark’s settings:
there is an option to create a subdirectory for a ZIP as soon as the zip
contains more than one item. So it is still there, but not for every file.

Don’t give one-liners more credit than they’re due. All you need is a
for-loop over all ZIP files, calculate an ouput dir by removing the trailing
“.zip”, and finally call unzip with both:
for z in *.zip; do unzip "$z" -d "${z%.zip}"; done
If you want to be smart, omit the extraction if the output directory already
exists, to avoid overwriting stuff:
# for-loop: cut off ".zip" does dir exist? yes no
for z in *.zip; do d="${z%.zip}"; [ -d "$d" ] && echo "Skipping $z" || unzip
"$z" -d "$d"; done
