extracted it image

trying to open it made this happen image the file was then deleted by windows on its own

What happens if you disable Defender, unzip it, then re-enable Defender? Do any files get deleted in the unzipped folder? If so, which?

Once I unzip the first zip, the second zip shows. If i try to unzip that; it gets deleted even if "real-time protection" is not running in Windows Defender
