Reaper allows you to specify which folder to scan for plugins.
You can create a new folder, unzip the plugins to that folder and setup Reaper to
look there.

You should be able to see a bunch of .dll files in the folder where you unzipped the files.
After the unzipping and adding the folder to Reaper, click on the "Rescan Directory" button.

Try this:
Create a folder under your C drive named: VSTPlugins
Unzip the files and specify the extraction folder as C:\VSTPlugins
All unzip programs allow you to choose the folder where you want to extract the files. Select C:\VSTPlugins and extract the files.
Open Reaper and the Preferences menu and click on the "Add" button. Add C:\VSTPlugins to the list of directories.
Click on the "Rescan directory" and see if the plugins are now available for use.
