Looks like the problem lies with the upload, did you try to extract the files from a just created zip file, before you upload it?

WINZIP Is My Favorite Program For Creating ZIP Files.

How To Avoid Problems I Had With WINZIP:

A - Always Use Stable Program Versions - I Once Used A Beta Downloaded Version And It Generated Corrupted Files,

B - Always Use Legacy Compression - It Will Take More Space But It Will Be Backwards Compatible With Older Software.

Cheers.
