Thanks Graham. On inspecting the list of files in the archive, I can see that all the files except 1(??) are missing - only the directories are present.
I tried recreating the archive and this time everything is fine. I'm not sure why it was created incorrectly the first time which is a little concerning, but it seems to be fine for now.
