I have the same problem which described [here](https://superuser.com/questions/872596/decompress-zip-with-given-encoding) . The only difference is I need to do this in MacOS. Basically, all files are encoded in non-utf8 and zipped on Windows. When I unzip it on MacOS, they won't be readable at all. I need to convert the encoding to utf-8 during unzip. I tried the command unzip -O GB18030 gb18030.zip which does not work on MacOS. I think it might because the unzip command in MacOS does not have the option -O.
