Impossible to say without seeing what you have changed in DATA.ZIP but the behavior is a clear sign of an error in it.

How did you changes the data.zip?!!?? You need to change it using 7-zip filemanager, if you unzip it, cnahge something and then zip it you would have a problem.

He said he was using WinRAR which is also capable of doing it correctly...

You need to change the zip withou decompressing it....otherwise It won't work correctly...At least with the tests I did never worked.

You can decompress all you want. The trick is that when you add the file back you have to make sure that it is being placed into the same folder inside the archive. WinZIP faisl at that, WinRAR and 7-Zip do it automatically.

WinRAR does put changed files back where they belong, unlike WinZIP, and also lets you drag files into folders inside the archive.
