[clue] Unzipping zip archives with duplicates?

Thinking back to the old DOS PKzip...

rename the file(s) within the zip before extracting
or
extract one file (that you aren't getting from the batch unzip) and unzip it to a different directory.

I'm wondering how multiple files of the same name&path got into a zip file?

Note: I have no idea what the command lines for any of my above suggestions looks like.

I'm trying to figure out how I might extract a certain zip file on the 
command line.

Normally, this is a no-brainer, of course, but this one has duplicate 
names in there. Now, some GUI tools will rename dupes found (append .# 
on the end, for example) and keep right on trucking.

It seems 7-zip command line on Windows anyway has a flag (-aou) that 
seems like it might do the right thing - but the port(s) (tried on 
Ubuntu and OS X) doesn't seem to have support for it.

Any other ideas for how I might skin this cat?
