While you can't specify it for a specific call to Extract() or ExtractAll(), the ZipFile class has a FlattenFoldersOnExtract field. When set to true, it flattens all the extracted files into one folder:

var flattenFoldersOnExtract = zip.FlattenFoldersOnExtract;
zip.FlattenFoldersOnExtract = true;
zip.ExtractAll();
zip.FlattenFoldersOnExtract = flattenFoldersOnExtract;
