The Unarchiver is a small and easy to use program that can unarchive many different kinds of archive files. It will open common formats such as Zip, RAR (including v5), 7-zip, Tar, Gzip and Bzip2. It will also open many older formats, such as StuffIt, DiskDoubler, LZH, ARJ and ARC.

Just give the Unarchiver app a refresh by closing it and re-opening it to see if that has it fixed. If not, make sure that you have allowed Unarchiver to have access to receive incoming connections in your Security & Privacy in your Mac’s Settings.
