Error message on opening Epub

I have an epub file that was imported into Calibre. I downloaded metadata for it without a problem. but when trying to open I get error message "Could not open ebook. Not a zip file" . Below i copied the details from the error message. the ebook was downloaded with other ebooks. One of them opened without a problem about a year ago. any other books from that collection i tried to open give the same error. the ebook is over 20MB in size but I have have another book this size and it works fine.

calibre, version 0.9.40
ERROR: Could not open ebook: Not a ZIP file

Traceback (most recent call last):
