zip files should be opened with unzip, not gunzip. This is "works as 
designed" and anyone confused needs to read the man pages. :)

Gunzip can create and extract single-file zip archives, but they 
aren't compatible with the typical zip archives that contain multiple 
files.

Basically, tar is the archiver of choice for Unix and Compress or 
gzip is the compressor. On Windows, *both* are done with zip 
utilities.
