When I recently reconverted all 9000+ books I had 1 corrupt file that I had to replace in my library from backup.

You might see what happens using the Quality check plugin. Use one of the Check epub features in the plugin. It should error on any corrupt file and hopefully provide you a list of those errors.

You might even ask Kiwidude in the Quality check plugin thread if a simple check epub integrity can be added as an option that would list any books that returned a "BadZipfile: File is not a zip file" error message.
