You can try the typical home remedies you read about, but the only sure way is time. It needs to air out and dissipate on its on for it to truly go away. It'll take 304 days, and if its hot there, it'll feel like forever, but most of the "ways" you'll find online don't really do much for it
It is possible the critters remains are under there. Take a look and if you don't find it, use the advice on these sites.

You haven't seen any skunks because they are only active at night. They may be asleep under there during the day. I would call an exterminator. Skunks carry rabies.
To get rid of the smell you will need to use something acidic, which is why tomato juice is used to bathe a sprayed pet.

Sprinkle baking soda or charcoal.

You have to get rid of them. You need an exterminator or DIY with have-a-heart traps.
