zaxxon's advice is correct if for some reason it is a file compressed using gzip, but it was named with a ".zip" extension. However, it is worth mentioning that the error you encountered may also be because the file was corrupted in some way. ZIP and GZIP are binary formats, so if that file was transferred at some point using a non-binary protocol, it may have corrupted the data. Also, to determine if it is ZIP or GZIP, you can look at the first few bytes of the file.
