I've settled on Material Files for a file browser and it handles all my compress/extract needs.
-
Find the file
-
Press the 3 vertical dots on the right
-
Select 'extract'
-
Navigate to or create the folder you want to extract to.
-
Press the paste-clipboard icon in the bottom-right to extract the files.
NB. It can create compressed archives as .zip .tar.xz or .7z
