I have a .zip file of size 17GB on Linux. As per my knowledge unzip(before 6.X version) doesn't work with file size greater than 4GB. I tried my best to uncompress it but didn't successed. Can anybody help me out with this? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I've run into this with Solaris and AIX. The gunzip command, which supports large files, will uncompress the first file in a ZIP archive ignoring all others (if present):
gunzip -c file.zip > filename
You're in luck if zip was used for compression only -- that is, one file. If multiple files are in the archive, then you will probably need to transfer the file to *gulp* a Windows platform, unzip it there using WinZIP, and return the constituent files to your Linux box.
On my linux boxed I use 7-Zip.
It will unzip ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR.
It is one of very few I have found, that will unzip multi-part zip/rar files on linux.
