This is purely a CLI (command-line interface) tool, which is why you had to install from the command line. 
It's the "unzip" command from xterm.
Open xterm and change to your directory where the file is. If you have it in MyDocs, type
cd MyDocs
and then
unzip <name of file>
Note that it will unzip right in the same place you have it.
If you prefer not to do it this way, your best option right now would be to do it on a PC.

in x-term first do a "cd MyDocs" (because this is the place which is viewed when you connect the phone to your pc)
then do a "ls -a" to know which folders/files are there.
the names are a bit different as the names in the file manager.
the folder "Audiofiles" is named ".sounds" for example.
so you can do a "cd .sounds" to get there.
then you can do a "ls -a" again to list what's in there again. ^^
(remember "ls" or "ls -a" is your friend
)

cd MyDocs/.documents ? ^^
(absolute path: cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents )
edit:
if you don't know what the folder you are in contains - just type "ls -a".
then you'll get a list with all folders and files (even hidden ones).
then you can "cd" to the folders or open the files with the right app.
