As I mardek quite a few bugs as duplicate of this one. I'd mention that
there is a simple workaround, install p7zip.

The bug is caused by zip/unzip stack provided by Info-Zip. In
particular, zip(1) seems to have no problem creating a ZIP archive with
non-ASCII file name; the encoding used is UTF-8. However, unzip(1) just
refuse to list any non-ASCII printable character in filenames.

As FIle Roller use zip/unzip as one of its backend for ZIP, the same
issue can be seen in File Roller.

When p7zip is installed, File Roller would use it as backend for ZIP
instead. Therefore, to hide the problem from end users, we may let file-
roller depends on p7zip so that we can guarantee that we have a working
ZIP stack.
