"What version of PHPMyAdmin are you using?

I see bug #2808564 which sounds quite similar to your issue. The filer indicates that only certain files caused the issue. It was recommended to upgrade to PHPMyAdmin v3.2.

If you can't upgrade PHPMyAdmin, you could try using another archiver to create the zip, such as WinZip or WinRar. You could also try using another compression format such as Gzip."
