The option to compress or not compress files takes place when you save files to the library. So, there are actually several ways that you can uncompress it ...

(1) Open the CRZ file in WinZip (or similar utility), and extract the CR2 to the same folder.

(2) Choose Window > Python Scripts, and choose the Utility Funcs > UnCompress Files option to uncompress all of the files in a selected folder.

(3) Empty the document window; load the CRZ into your scene, and resave it to the library while the "Compress files" option is not checked. With any of these options, it might not hurt rename or save the CR2 with CR2 in the file name somewhere, to distinguish it from the original CRZ compressed version. Also, the CR2 and CRZ versions of the library file will still call the original OBZ file, so if you also uncompress the OBZ to OBJ you'll have to edit the CR2 version.
