I have a folder on my desktop that has around 2500 folders in it, each folder has multiple files in them that are zipped, I can unzip them by manually clicking on them, is there a way to do this automatically through terminal?

Safari on the Mac may automatically "unpack" or "unzip" these types of files. If that is the case, you'll want to change your Safari preferences so that it does not automatically unzip the exported file: In Safari, click the Safari menu at the top. Select Preferences.
If it won't open with a double-click, it may be corrupted, but you can also try Stuffit Expander and/or The Unarchiver in case it's a non-standard zip. If they can't open it, the problem is with the zip file. Try downloading again.
zip' was extracted to create a folder called 'Archive' which contains the contents of the origin zip file. The built in Archive Utility tool in Mac OS will open the zip archive and extract the file(s), typically they are placed within a folder of the same name of the zip archive, minus the . zip file extension.
find ./ -name \*.zip -exec unzip {} \; maybe?

you can try the unzip command, but i think it only works with zip/tar files.

or if you have the app The Unarchiver:
you can use the open command.
cd to your folder and use:
$ open */*.rar
this should extract all rar files in all sub-folders, according to your Unarchiver setup into a new folder or in the same folder.
Hope this helps.
