(Get the code!)
As I tested the file in comment 3 on Ubuntu 12.04, this file should have encoding CP437.
$ unar -e cp437 Prueba\ con\ acentos\ y\ espacios.zip #Works perfectly
(You can install "unar" by "sudo apt-get install unar")
The result of unzip is a bit strange as it ask for password for one file, is this correct?
Anyway, the big picture is that:
* ZIP filename encoding is tricky
* unzip has broken UTF-8 filename support and limited support of encoding conversion after a patch.
* File Roller is just a frontend of tools like unzip, if you install p7zip it will invoke p7zip instead, which can result in working UTF-8 ZIP filename support.
