I've a corrupt zip file. I've tried to repair it with

zip -F file.zip

and

zip -FF file.zip

but was not successful. Is there another terminal tool under Linux for repairing?

I'm not aware of a program that will do a better job repairing the archive though.

You might try

unzip -vt file.zip

just to see if maybe you can extract some of the files safely, or figure out which files in the archive are corrupt.
