Hello,
Fairly easy way:
cd ~/Downloads/
open *.zip  &&

There is a zip command also which would use less resources as it doesn't open a window, using this is probably more efficient, and it might even have an option to delete zip files after they are decompressed.It It does have option  to compress only files newer or older than a specific date or to move files from one archive to another. Acopy of the   Man page formatted for the browser can be found at:

Though typing "man zip" in the terminal is guaranteed to give you the man page for the version of zip you have on your computer.

Best wishes,
