One possibility is that your source file may have already been transferred from a remote machine to your current machine in a wrong FTP mode corrupting it.
Try to regenerate your zipfile and retry your FTP in binary.
Make sure your destination has enough free space to receive it.
Do not use mput (which in some bad implementation only transfer the first file in binary and then randomly switch to other inaccurate ftp mode).
