I started with emacs -Q
The did C-x C-f and selected the file with RET
I got this error in *Messages*:
"Parsing archive file...
File mode specification error: (args-out-of-range #<buffer resource_ead1.zip> 4294967296 4294967300)"
I expected the arc-mode dired-like view of the file list of the zip,
but I got a buffer with the byte contents of the zip file.
If I do M-! file resource_ead1.zip I get
resource_ead1.zip: Zip archive data, at least v3.0 to extract
I can open other zips with arc-mode that are not zip v3.0 with no problem.
Attached is the file that caused the problem with an additional file extension to get around gmail's blocking.
