I am unzipping a file with approximately 3 million single text files – the zip-file itself is around 12 GB in size. It's not multi-part – it's just one large zip file btw. I do not have the original data – all I have is the zipped file which means I cannot try to zip the content again (just so you know).
The problem is that as I unzip, at some point, I get
..
file #1207565: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 9570252890
file #1207566: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 9570254437
file #1207567: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 9570255044
file #1207568: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 9570256141
file #1207569: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 9570256786
file #1207570: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 9570257539
..
This does not seem to affect every subfolder or file respectively in the archive but for a lot of them the process seems to fail.
At this point it's hard for me to guess if the packing or the unpacking is the problem
Are there any workarounds I could try on my side?

I ran into the same problem - a huge zip file with a lot of files - and unzip choked trying to unpack it. A possible solution is to use java archiver. Just unpack your stuff with
jar xvf file.zip
