What software are you using...
Apple's default is Archive Utility.app
/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/Archive Utility
try an alternative and compare your results, this would be informative.
there are many, one ex. Keka - the macOS file archiver
I have been using mac's for many may years. but never had an issue with Archive Util
I just migrated and I am using iCloud Drive
Wonder if this has to do because of my iCloud Drive is enabled and syncing? Maybe as its syncing and does not allow changes?
So my question would be, When iCloud drive is Enabled should I work in:
Mac HD > Users > username > Documents
or
iCloud Drive > Documents
or
Does it not matter?

How did you do that? Please be specific.
It sounds like your file system is hopelessly corrupted.
Yes I'm using standard Archive Utility.app
Unarchiving a zip doesn't work “Error identifying a writable temporary folder”
