Ideally I was hoping for an unzipper that will work regardless of nominal filetype.

Well, I don't know what options there are for OSX, so I can't help you with finding a sane unzipper.
But
changing fixing a filetype really is as easy as renaming it -- an EPUB is a renamed ZIP to begin with, so renaming it back
ensures that applications will recognize it as a ZIP.
And as I said, the command-line unzip utility can handle arbitrary filenames.
You could also use pdurrant's
ePub Zip/Unzip AppleScript application for Mac OS X. It is a drag-and-drop AppleScript which simply acts as a wrapper around `unzip`.
