Upload internal zip using Win-Zip to Wordpress?

Can anyone tell me how to upload, using the Wordpress upload, a zipped file that is within a zip file?

Example; I purchase a theme, it comes zipped with a theme, pdf and plug-in. The theme and plug-in are also zipped with-in the zip.

I can see the file on my computer, but if I type in the name in wordpress, it only recognizes the main file, not internal pieces of it. I tried right clicking and save as, but that only gets more confusing with Win-Zip....I appreciate any help,

Thanks

    Unzip it on your computer and upload it using a FTP client.

      You need to unzip that compressed folder. You can download a *free* unzipping program called 7zip. Once you have installed 7zip, right-click on the compressed folder with your theme and go to 7zip --> Extract Here

      Once your theme is decompressed you can upload it to your WordPress install with an FTP client like Filezilla. Or through your WordPress Dashboard.
