at a guess, you typed the command and used single quotes where you
should have used back quotes (aka back tick, which is on the ~ key on
the laptop i'm now typing on).


try  for i in $(find . -name "*.zip"); do unzip -d $(dirname $i) $i;done;

Not only is the $(cmd) construct clearer than `cmd`, it's also nestable.
