• Deleting every archive file after the file was unzipped

  Your simplest bet in this case will likely be to use a zip utility with a file browser, and ideally one that supports QuickLook, so you can preview individual files before extracting them.

• Corrupt Files

  Do you have the zip files still? If so, try unzipping them with another tool like The Unarchiver or BetterZip. Any difference? We've seen that the built-in OS unzip tools on both Mac and Windows aren't always very robust and can have difficulties with ZIP-64. Source: about 3 years ago
