I’m not aware of any way to do this without using an external binary,
but that’s not very hard. You can grab a Windows version of unzip from

    http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/unzip.htm

and either add it’s directory to the windows PATH or put the files
into an existing location on the PATH, like maybe into the Emacs
install’s bin directory.
