I have over a hundred .zip files that I need to be merged into one. I have found that a possibility is to use:

cat "filename1.zip" "filename2.zip" "filenamen.zip">"merged_file.zip"

This gives me a file with the same size as the other's combined, but upon extraction, it gives an error.

Is there something I am still doing wrong or is there a better way to do this?

You have to extract all files and rezip them. Otherwise you just create a binary merge which is not usable by the .Zip-Applications.
