apt-get update
apt-get install php7.0-zip

adding a [solved] tag to make it easier for other to find this fix.

You may prefer using :

apt-get install zip unzip -qy

to have a quiet -q and more important -y to force Yes when being ask:

After this operation, 1,117 kB of additional disk space will be used.
