Zip is broken / corrupt!
If by conventional methods of unpacking large zip files, say contents spans over 4 or 8 gigabytes and your usual means of unpacking tells you that the file is broken. That's really not the case.
Within Mac OS, try opening the terminal and traversing to where the file is located, attempt to use Java to unpack the file, such as jar xf filename.zip.
If you've compiled p7zip from source or have a binary install, 7z x filename.zip or 7za x filename.zip.
Attempts can also be made with unzip 6.0, ditto and BetterZip.
