For zip files, I would use the DotNetZip library on CodePlex.
I have had a lot of success with it.

Imports Shell32 'Add Shell32 to reference 
Public Class Form1
    Public sc As Shell32.Shell 'Declare Shell32
Public Function ExtractFiles() As Boolean
        Try
           sc = New Shell32.Shell
           Dim DestinationFlder As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("C:\")
           Dim SourceFolder As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace _
           (Application.StartupPath & "\myzipfile.zip")
           DestinationFlder.CopyHere(SourceFolder)'CopyHere is replaceable by CutHere
           System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500)
        Catch ignore As Exception
           Return False
        End Try
        Return True
    End Function
End Class
