For the default behavior of a program to happen on a file, you feed the program the file name only. The unzip -v will allow you to view the zip file's contents but will not extract files. I wouldn't use the -d option either since zip's default when extracting files is to createsubdirectories. What I would do is mkdir /tmp/unzip then mv zipfile /tmp/unzip then cd /tmp/unzip then unzip *.zip. Then check out directory contents inside of /tmp/unzip and directories lower than that. This way you control where unzip puts your files and have no strange surprises later.
