Try installing 7z sudo apt-get install p7zip-full and then extract the file with it 7z x 00000018.zip

+1 for this, thanks for the command some reason p7zip -d doesn't like my .zip file. after using 7z x [file], it prompted me to enter the password required and extracted the file nicely.

+1 i used 7z x datafile.zip -aoa -p$3CR37 with success. Argument -p****** is the password, -aoa allows extraction over any existing local files.
