invalid distance too far back

I am using calibre to add an image to an epub file I have and I'm getting an error that I'm not sure how to interpret. I have used the tool successfully in similar use cases.

When performing the "Convert books" function I am getting the following error:

Thanks.
See the line "badzipfile"
you have a damaged container (the EPUB).

Okay - yes I saw that but then I can open it just fine in iTunes and on my iPad it is just the cover art is missing which is what I am trying to add. I saw that the process attempted to use a "more forgiving parser" but then resulted in the error so thought it might be something with calibre itself.

Thanks for reviewing and replying to my query.
