The second file here is actually the Mac OS "resource fork."

Ouch.  I know what this is.  I recently taught libarchive
to distinguish "file has zero size" from "the file size is
unknown" in a lot of cases, but apparently I missed this one.
The "unknown size" stored in the Zip header here is getting
incorrectly treated as a zero size.

Please try the attached patch which fixes the Zip reader
in libarchive to leave the file size "unknown" in
this case.  Let me know if it fixes the issue for you.

Cheers,
