Have access to a Windows machine? The description I've seen seems to indicate it's a more common format on Windows.

Here is your answer:

Compressed disk image format (a.k.a. "ISO Zipped") developed by ESB Systems; similar to a regular .ISO file, but compressed to save disk space; may also be password-protected and encrypted using AES256 encryption.

Large ISZ files can be split into segments and spanned across multiple disks.
Program(s) that open isz files

Windows EZB Systems UltraISO
WinMount

Mounting .isz Image Files - OS X Solution Using Parallels

Download DAEMON TOOLS Lite (4.12.3) [FREE] from:
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5

Open Windows in Parallels and install DAEMON TOOLS Lite (4.12.3). [ Note: You can uncheck "DAEMON Tools sponsor ad module". ] The installer will install a DAEMON Tools Lite icon in the Notification Area of the Taskbar.

In the Notification Area of the Taskbar in Windows, click on the DAEMON TOOLS Lite (4.12.3) icon.

It will read "Device 0: [ E: ] Empty". Click this text.

Select an .isz image file from the dialog box. (Share a Mac OS folder with the image file first, if necessary.)

The image file will mount, its window will open, and you can grab the files.
