This sounds like a permissions issue.
What directory did you download to?
Move the files to your home directory.
If you still have problems, try Ctrl-clicking, Open With, and choosing BOM Archive Helper to open the files.
Not knowing much about your system, it's hard to know what may really be the problem, but it could be that your system is setup to open zip files with an older app like StuffIt, whereas at the built in unzip facility can pretty much handle anything.
The name thing is a red herring. There aren't many characters Mac OS cannot handle, and the few that would be problematic are disallowed on Windows anyway. Linux and Mac OS are close enough cousins that this is a non-issue.
