$ file *.zip
potbs_st2_client.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
What zip v2 command file (no GUI since this is done via SSH) can I use
to view, extract, and these files? I assume it is using the newer zip
compression format like in WinZip.
Thank you in advance. :)

If unzip thinks the file is corrupt, it won't extract.
Perhaps "wine winzip filename" or a newer version of info-zip? Or if you
have any control over the creation of the file, force it to use
older compression (info-zip or gzip for Windows should work.)
Ubuntu 7.10 has unzip version
UnZip 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Ubuntu. Original by Info-ZIP.
but I don't know if that will extract your file.

Yes, you are correct. I've seen these beasts too. I got in with a
WinZip "trial" version, running under Wine. My version was a pay
version, but the trial was enough to do the 1 or 2 files I needed it
for (actually, you can reset the trial period counter in the registry,
but...). Hopefully someone will update InfoZip.
I know that's not a no-GUI answer, but I thought I'd mention this
since we are bound to see more of these in the linux world as Windows
users pass around zip files made in a format our tools can no longer
work with.

I noticed old registered WinZip v8.1 had the same problem. It said
something about the file being over 4 GB (which is true). I tried the
latest WinRAR worked though! So the zip file is fine, but unzip command
and older WinZip versions can't handle it. I also tried it in Windows XP
Pro. SP2's with its built in zip component (same problem).

Yeah, this stinks. Someone needs to update zip/unzip commands! :(

Perhaps try "zip -F zipfile.zip"
-F Fix the zip archive. This option can be used if
some portions of the archive are missing. It is not
guaranteed to work, so you MUST make a backup of
the original archive first.
When doubled as in -FF the compressed sizes given
inside the damaged archive are not trusted and zip
scans for special signatures to identify the limits
between the archive members. The single -F is more
reliable if the archive is not too much damaged,
for example if it has only been truncated, so try
this option first.
Neither option will recover archives that have been
incorrectly transferred in ascii mode instead of
binary. After the repair, the -t option of unzip
may show that some files have a bad CRC. Such files
cannot be recovered; you can remove them from the
archive using the -d option of zip.
