It looks at the first entry (the mimetype) and sees it is uncompressed and so thinks the entire file is uncompressed and so "smartly" tries to compress instead of uncompress. Stupid really as you can add uncompressed files to any zip and they might come first.
Either the command line tool unzip or pdurrants applet will work.
