I also get the same error Argument of type 'Blob' is not assignable to parameter of type 'BlobSource'. Property 'getBlob' is missing in type 'Blob'. with below code.

// import Base = GoogleAppsScript.Base;
const fileBlob: Base.Blob = DriveApp.getFileById(fileId).getBlob();
const unzippedBlob: Base.Blob = Utilities.unzip(fileBlob)[0]; // Utilities.unzip cause type error.

I think the problem is the wrong function type of Utilities.unzip (and gzip, so on). The function type is currently unzip(blob: Base.BlobSource): Base.Blob[];, but it should be unzip(blob: Base.Blob): Base.Blob[];. https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/types/google-apps-script/google-apps-script.utilities.d.ts#L70 (Though JS version also set the type BlobSource instead of Blob. It would be wrong. https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/utilities/utilities#unzipblob)
