Unzip multipart files created from Mac in Windows

This is how I created a multipart archive from Mac;

zip -r -s 1g archive.zip long\ folder\ name/

This creates files like archive.zip, archive.z01 and so on. Now I am trying to unzip this archive in Windows.

I have tried;

copy /B archive.z* unified.zip

but unified.zip cannot be unzipped. Also tried 7Zip but that doesn't work either.

Have you tried 7zip on the original archive.zip (with the other parts in the same directory)? I've not seen a multi-part zip file, but it certainly works fine on a multi-part rar. – AFH – 2015-07-07T11:40:47.920

Yes. Tried 7Zip on the original and also with all parts selected. 7Zip tells me 'Is not archive'. – Shakeeb Ahmad – 2015-07-07T11:45:23.913

First. Try zip single small file on Mac. Try unzip it on windows. Can you provide a samples? – befzz – 2015-07-07T14:01:32.177

See 7Zip instructions at http://mintywhite.com/vista/extract-multipart-archives-000-001-r01-r02-7zip/ and at http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Combining_multipart_files_using_7-zip; hope that works for you.
