I second this. Scan everything before unzipping, and if you can know what the target files should contain beforehand.
Honestly, in 20 years of using Macs, I have never had to worry about viruses
Had to? No. Should have, especially when extracting unknown files with a weird structure? Absolutely. BSD malware very much exists, which means Mac malware exists. You may have not felt the need to worry, but you very much should have been careful.
