What's your umask currently set to?

Do the files have permissions in the original zip file? The "unzip" man page
says:

"
Dates, times and permissions of stored directories are not restored
except under Unix. (On Windows NT
and successors, timestamps are now restored.)
"

... which implies that the contents of the zip may influence the permissions.

You could also reset the permissions after extraction, if umask isn't the key.
