Hi,

Try repairing the Zip archive by following these steps:

Click Start -> Click All Programs-> Click Accessories
Right click on the Command Prompt and Run as Administrator ( Left click Command Prompt for Windows XP)
Change directories to the file folder of the damaged Zip file is located
Type: "C:Program FilesWinZipwzzip" -yf zipfile.zip
If the damaged file is spanned or split, use the following command:
"C:Program FilesWinZipwzzip" -yfs zipfile.zip

NOTE: This might not be a fool proof solution and you might loose the valuable data. Create a backup file before you carry out above mentioned steps.

If the problem persist, you can go for some third-party Zip Recovery Software.
