Why do you believe this to be true? I believe that the *.adb will
only not be expanded if there happen to be no files in the current
directory which match that pattern, and even then, only in certain
kinds of shells. Those based on the c-shell can give you an error
and not execute the program at all.
If you don't want filename expansion in UNIX, just quote:
unzip archive.zip "*.adb"
