I think the problem is that ZipInputStream is slightly broken - it does 
not support ZipFiles created with DataDescriptors trailing each entry. 
It should be very simple to fix, but I don't have time for it now. If 
this is indeed the problem it can be circumvented by using the ZipFile 
class, which reads the zip central directory structure, and use that to 
iterate through the entries.

Sorry for the inconvenience
