The structure of the OOXML files in a .xlsx package is very complex.  That it
uses Zip as a carrier is the least of the problems in importing it correctly. 
The same goes for .odp files produced by OpenOffice Calc.  ODF and OOXML and
*very* different.

In addition, the problematic file is 3MB, so it is very difficult to
trouble-shoot it enough to see what the problem is.

I did manage to save the file, from Excel 2016, to .xls format.  That opens in
Apache OpenOffice.  One peculiarity is the presence of a comment whose text is
a GUID.  This does not appear when opened as read-only in Excel 2016 (a default
precaution for internet-downloaded files when first opened).

If I open that .xls in Excel 2016 and save that as .xlsx, Apache OpenOffice
fails the same way it does on the original .xlsx.

Observation: The original .xlsx has no creator, but it does have a
last-modification author.  Was the original file produced by some software
means other than from Excel itself?

Conclusion: Calc cannot open the file.  It is not clear what feature of the
file is problematic for Calc.
