I have (and only have) read/write access to a shared folder of a Windows server. There is a big zip file in the folder. I have a slow connection to the server. Is it possible to unzip the zip file remotely?

Most Microsoft people will tell you that you should set your permissions correctly at the NTFS level and then open up your shares unless you have some really good reason for doing the permissions at the share level. There is a lot of flexibility in NTFS permissioning that should let you do whatever it is you need to do and having the files RW at the file system level is a big security hole if one of your employees manages to log on locally somehow.

No.
You need some kind of access to issue commands on the remote server, either through RDP, Powershell Remoting, PSEXEC, or some other method.
