Your problem may not be as much that the file is corrupt, as with its size. There are two versions of ZIP format -- the classic uses 32-bit sizes and offsets in its directory structure, so you really can't have a file larger than 4GB. A version of the format using 64-bit integers (and effectively having no limits) has been around for a while, but may still not be supported by all software.
The first thing I'd do in your situation is try a couple different unzip tools, starting with the same one used to create the archive... If you are trying repair utilities, make sure you do it on a copy of the archive, because a repair utility that only understands 32-bit ZIP format would probably only do additional damage.
