I also couldn’t find anything by Googling. I went to the Shortcuts Gallery and searched on “zip,” “unzip,” and “archive.” There was a shortcut for zipping up a bunch of files and putting them into an email message, but nothing for unzipping and saving.

But I took the procrastinator’s way out, deciding to solve the problem of dealing with zip files on iOS once and for all.
