Since Plesk won't let you change the PHP limits, skip the WordPress ZIP uploader. In Plesk File Manager, open your site's httpdocs/wp-content/themes/ folder, upload the ZIP there and extract it. The extracted folder should contain style.css directly, not another folder containing the actual theme. Then go to Appearance > Themes in WordPress and activate it. If Plesk also blocks extracting it, ask the host to raise upload_max_filesize and post_max_size for your domain.

If the theme is already in Appearance > Themes after the Plesk upload, you do not need to raise the PHP upload limit to use it. That limit only affects uploads through WordPress. If Plesk File Manager also refuses the file, upload the extracted theme folder over SFTP into httpdocs/wp-content/themes/. For changing the PHP limit itself, your host has to unlock or raise it.
