You could use Path.rglob() to enumerate zip-files recursively and shutil.unpack_archive() to unpack zip files:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import logging
from pathlib import Path
from shutil import unpack_archive

zip_files = Path(r"C:\Project\layers").rglob("*.zip")
while True:
    try:
        path = next(zip_files)
    except StopIteration:
        break # no more files
    except PermissionError:
        logging.exception("permission error")
    else:
         extract_dir = path.with_name(path.stem)
         unpack_archive(str(path), str(extract_dir), 'zip')

It "extract[s] each archive to separate folder with the same name as the original zip file name and also in the same place as the original zip file" e.g., it extracts 'layers/dir/file.zip' archive into 'layers/dir/file' directory.
