I'm having trouble figuring out how I can uncompress these parts into one file. I've tried "zip *.zip > file.zip" with no success.

cat *zip > big.zip && unzip big.zip You might be able to just throw it down a pipe cat *zip | unzip -, but I'm not sure about that.

While unzip seems not to support multipart archives (you'd need to concatenate them into a single archive first), unar or 7zip seem to be working. However, the files would need to be named archive.z01, archive.z02, ... , archive.zip
