I believe that would be the -D and -DD option to unzip (1). The man page says:

-D

skip restoration of timestamps for extracted items. Normally, unzip
tries to restore all meta-information for extracted items that are
supplied in the Zip archive (and do not require privileges or impose a
security risk). By specifying -D, unzip is told to suppress
restoration of timestamps for directories explicitly created from Zip
archive entries. This option only applies to ports that support
setting timestamps for directories (currently ATheOS, BeOS, MacOS,
OS/2, Unix, VMS, Win32, for other unzip ports, -D has no effect). The
duplicated option -DD forces suppression of timestamp restoration for
all extracted entries (files and directories). This option results in
setting the timestamps for all extracted entries to the current time.
