RecoveryFIX for ZIP Files - for some time I’ve been searching for a free ZIP file repair utility and to date without success (if you know of one please let me know). RecoveryFix does do the job but unfortunately is not free it does cost but it’s cheap at $10 per machine licence.
RecoveryFix recovers corrupted ZIP files when the download is interrupted, as a result of CRC errors or virus attacks. The recovery solution also recovers WinZip and other file compression formats and it is fast and simple to use (two things I like along with cheap if not free tagged as an adjective).

Like it or not, it does take a great deal of effort to delete a file from a hard drive permanently - what actually happens in practice is that Windows simply changes the first character in the file name so the internal bookkeeping sysem no longer recognizes it - it is still there on the hard drive and will be kept there until it is overwritten by another file.
The trick with recovering a lost file or document is to act as quickly as you can - if the deletion is due to a hardware failure, virus infection or corruption of the file system - then recovery is best performed as soon as possible before the file is overwritten.
There are numerous file recovery programs on the market some free and some cost - bottom line is if you have a serious file recovery issue you will need to pay for the facility to recover a file.
A free alternative is Brian Kato’s Restoration utility while a leading file recovery tool is Stompsoft’s Recover LostData.
