Contact your web host and request them to increase the limits on your upload_max_filesize and max_execution_time or alternatively you can upload the zip file in your wp-content/themes directory and extract (This is obviously more preferred, as it is faster).

Hope it helps. Cheers!

Are you sure you are not installing the theme in the plugin area? Check
