error unexpected end of file

Sometimes while unziping some files i got an error and the further unziping stopped.might be other files are able to be unzip.i.e


Code:
 gunzip a.Z b.Z c.Z 
gunzip: a.Z: unexpected end of file

it found an error on a.Z and stopped but b.Z and C.Z might be correct.
why this error comes and is there any possible way to skip the file with error and let the others start to unzip.
