Since this is not a .cab file, I think the best way to make this your theme is to use TF3D config. First unzip the file to a folder, then go to tf3d config, and in there there is an option to change your theme. Browse to the folder where you unzipped it and it should show up. Then open it up apply it reboot your good. This way you could always go back to the original theme or change to another theme easily.
I have attatched Tf3D Config in case you dont have it. And a screenshot.
Ps- if you have a problem opening TF3D config, you need to go to program files in file explorer, find the tf3d folder and delete the tweaks file, then you should be able to run the Tf3d config program.

give it a minute, it take a little while to load. Make sure you extracted the zip file first. Maybe this will get it done:

First you need to have installed Diamond TF3D Config installed on your phone. Second step is to download the theme you want and save it to the following location "Internal Storage\Themes\", if this folder is not available you should create it for yourself. Run the Diamond TF3D Config and go to its second tab called Appearance. At the top you should view dropdown box, from which you can select the theme you've previously copied. Next steps are to click on Apply button after which you will be shown a new screen with Start button on it. Just tap it and wait few minutes to have the theme correctly installed.

To remove the installed theme go to the Appearance tab again and run the Restore Default action.
