KFX-ZIP

I'm having trouble with KFX all of a sudden and only on some books.
To download to my kindle library then onto Calibre, I first download in the kindle app on my PC (Windows), then usually convert to AZW and send to device via a USB cable.
Since Amazon's edict that I can no longer download direct from Manage Content and Devices this is the method I've been using.

Today, some of these books are appearing in my Calibre library as KFX-ZIP and from what I understand this means that Calibre has been unable to remove the DRM?
I have checked KFX Input and DeDRM plugins and both are the latest versions.
Checking my app on my PC, which Kindle said I had to update in order to download a book, is version 2.7

Is there a workaround?
I don't have my kindle connected to the internet to prevent their interference with the books I already have, some free and some sale priced books.

One of the two books with this issue is a purchased, the other a free book.

In addition, I can choose any book in my Amazon Content and it now downloads as KFX-ZIP. This is just from today although it's after midnight so I have no idea if 6th and 7th May has anything to do with the issue.

Any help would be so appreciated.
