I've created files that are larger than 2 GB on an
ext3 on RHEL ES 3.  By default, when you create a
partition, 5% of it is reserved for the root user (I'm
not sure of the percentage exactly but a percentage is
reserved for the root user).  So it might not be a
question of maximum file size that you're hitting
into.  Try to unzip on a partition where you have more
free space...
