Ummm... Your supplier archived a fully-qualified directory name. That's
discourteous; it complicates extraction.

And you're working in a root-level directory? That's surprising.

I tested the following, avoiding fully-qualified paths. Hammer and file to fit:
582 $ pax -r -s#epf-zip4natl/z4trans#MyFolder# -vv '*/*/z4trans.zip' <Test.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 paulgilm paulgilm 29 Mar 2 10:39 MyFolder/z4trans.zip
pax: ustar vol 1, 4 files, 10240 bytes read, 0 bytes written.
583 $
583 $ ls -al My*
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 paulgilm paulgilm 4096 Mar 2 10:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 paulgilm paulgilm 4096 Mar 2 10:59 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 paulgilm paulgilm 29 Mar 2 10:39 z4trans.zip
584 $
