'"End-of-central-directory signature not found" when unzipping

When I unzip the file by double click I get the error 

2:no such file or directory

After that I open terminal and use the below command but I get the below result:

unzip /Users/mahesh/Desktop/maheshapp.zip 
Archive:  /Users/mahesh/Desktop/maheshapp.zip
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of /Users/mahesh/Desktop/maheshapp.zip or
        /Users/mahesh/Desktop/maheshapp.zip.zip, and cannot find /Users/mahesh/Desktop/maheshapp.zip.ZIP

Try below command on terminal.

ditto -x -k source.zip Destination_Dir

ditto will recover most of the contents. Credit goes to http://ask.metafilter.com/157754/Mac-OS-X-Recovering-a-corrupted-zip-file

I had this error message and the only solution for me was to install the trial of WinRAR and use that. The zip file wouldn't extract using either the built-in Windows 10 or MacOS extraction utilities.

you have splitted binaries, like file.zip.001, file.zip.002 ... you may just need to combine the files e.g. using cat command: cat file.zip.* > single.zip
