Here's an alternate method:

$zip = new ZipArchive;

  $zipped = $zip->open('test.zip');

  if ( $zipped ) {

  $zip->extractTo(dirname(__FILE__).'test');

  $zip->close();
}

@raoul and @be – The issue is likely your server setup. Contact your hosting provider and ask them to support the function listed above.

That is an issue with your hosting provider.
