For large numbers of archives, use GNU parallel or xargs -P: GNU parallel: After running the command: data/ ├── projectA/ │

export LC_ALL=C
find /path/to/root -type f -iname '*.zip' -print0 |
  parallel -0 -j 4 'dir=$(dirname {}); unzip -q {} -d "$dir"'

xargs:

find /path/to/root -type f -iname '*.zip' -print0 |
  xargs -0 -n1 -P4 -I{} sh -c 'unzip -q "{}" -d "$(dirname "{}")"'
