Try changing the extraction location,

(right click>open with>winRAR), Click on the extract button, Click on the root folder of any drive, examples: (C:/ , D:/ F:/ ) this will extract the file in the chosen root folder which will minimize the path name.

So instead of extracting at C:\Users\Amiruddin\Downloads\ WinRAR will extract the zip file in C:\ reducing the path name by 30 characters
