Running the following worked great (ditto is installed by default):

$ ditto -x -k Microsoft\ Edge.Win10.For.Windows.VirtualBox.zip edge  

Answer 3

The way we recommended for the VMs in dev.modern.ie is to use The Unarchiver. You can know more about how to unzip them in the instructions (page 2).

Also the files are zip64, so any software that can handle them should be ok.
