Try either

• sudo apt-get install php-zip or
• sudo apt-get install php5.6-zip

Then, you might have to restart your web server.

• sudo service apache2 restart or
• sudo service nginx restart

If you are installing on centos or fedora OS then use yum in place of apt-get. example:-

sudo yum install php-zip or sudo yum install php5.6-zip and sudo service httpd restart
