I have a query regarding the support of decompression for Unix compressed .Z

When I am right, then the "zipfile" module handles ".Z" compressed files.
No, that handles PKZIP .zip files. There are third-party modules that handle the
.Z format, but shelling out to external programs may still be preferable:
