DotNetZip is a free open-source library for working with zip files. It supports password protected files so it should be just what you are after.

Following code shows how to decompress a password protected ZIP archive using our Rebex ZIP component.

// open a ZIP archive 
using (ZipArchive zip = new ZipArchive(@"C:\archive.zip", ArchiveOpenMode.Open))
{
    // set the Password first 
    zip.Password = "PASSword#123";

    // extract whole ZIP content 
    zip.ExtractAll(@"C:\Data");
}

Free SharpZipLib might a be viable alternative (if you don't mind that it's licensed under LGPL).
