It should automatically do this. Just hit command+O on the zip file, and it
will extract to it's own folder within the same folder as the .zip file.
Now, this said, there are! yes, apps to do this that are really really good.
I personally love "The Unarchiver." As far as I know, yes, it is indeed in
the mac app store, and is free the last I looked. What I love about this
app is a few things. Firstly, I love that you can actually configure it to
ask you each time you command+O on a file, where you want it to extract.
So, say you didn't want it going into the same directory as the actual zip
file. No problem! OSX natively won't let you do this. The other thing
about it I love is it supports unzipping of password protected zip files, as
well as other formats like tarballs, tar.gz's, tar.bz2's, RAR's, 7z's, etc.
Pardon my language, but it's a damn! nice utility!
Chris.
