If you are talking about .jar files, you don't need to decompress  
them.  Just copy them into the plugins folder.

If you can't decompress .zip files, then you may have a problem with  
the OS service that handles such files.  In which case you may need to  
do an "Archive and Install..." restore of your OS (I'm assuming MacOS  
X, naturally).
