/dev/null was just an example. Using any normal non-ZIP file gives
the same results.

So I guess RandomAccessFile is broken too? Well that's a different
question. Some might argue that /dev/null *should* appear as a normal
file... ?

I agree that just reading the magic number (first four bytes) would
be plenty sufficient.
