There seems to be package fcrackzip included in Trisquel. It's a Free/Fast Zip Password Cracker. Its man page includes:

*** ZIP PASSWORD BASICS ***
Have you ever mis-typed a password for unzip? Unzip reacted pretty fast with 'incorrect password', without decrypting the whole file. While the encryption algorithm used by zip is relatively secure, PK made cracking easy by providing hooks for very fast password-checking, directly in the zip file.

I personally wouldn't trust anything else besides GPG, that's pretty much what Snowden said.
