I try to unzip a zip file, but got an error:

$ unzip COCR2_100.zip 
Archive:  COCR2_100.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.
note:  COCR2_100.zip may be a plain executable, not an archive
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of COCR2_100.zip or
        COCR2_100.zip.zip, and cannot find COCR2_100.zip.ZIP, period.

I googled but didn't find a solution. I was wondering why it is and how I should fix it? Thanks!

The zip file can be downloaded from COCR2_100. It is an application, and here is its website http://users.belgacom.net/chardic/cocr2.html.

My OS is 10.10.
