How do you recursively unzip archives in a directory and its subdirectories from the Unix command-line?

Tab spaced data to padded columns
Looking for a column formatting script, I have a feeling this could be a one line awk. Ideally, a small shell script is all I am after. The data is tab separated, each cell in each row is of variable length, and of course, may have spaces in it. So we have something like this dasj dhsahdwe dhasdhajks ewqhehwq dsajkdhas e dward da...
