"7z x example.zip -oexample

Usage: 7z <command> [<switches>...] <archive_name> [<file_names>...]
[<@listfiles...>]

<Commands>
...
x: eXtract files with full paths
<Switches>
...
-o{Directory}: set Output directory

Edit:

7z x *.zip -o*

extracts all *.zip archives to subfolders with names of these archives.

Strangely, I had to go to the full help file to find this example; it isn't shown for 7z /?."
