We all use Macs here so you can rest assured that everything we do is supported on them.
The issue is Mac's built-in unzipp app which is notoriously poor, download and install the free Unarchiver which is much better.
Then download as normal, locate the downloaded file in your 'Downloads' folder, right-click and select open-with | unarchiver.

Jumping in half way through a post, I use a Mac as well.
Scrap the 1st file you downloaded, do a new one and then use unarchiver.
Works every time for me.
