The archive manager uses other archive utilities to actually manipulate archives.
Try using 7zip directly if that is on your system.
It has a test option. It will test the document for integrity and also report on what files are in
it.
*Inside* of the document package there will be a content.xml file. If that file is present and is
reported to be correct, you can extract it.
7zip has a command line operation (named 7z or 7za).
Here's an example using a command line and 7za.exe in a Windows console session:
C:\command>7za t OOo-CustomProp-Export-2011-07-21-1613.odt

Extracting content.xml
Everything is Ok
C:\command>
The content.xml file will be in XML markup format. There is a *lot* of markup. it is tricky to
remove the markup and leave just the text.
If a Zip utility will not access the document, or reports that it is corrupt, you may need to track
down a Zip repair utility. I have no experience with those and can make no recommendation.

Hoping for some good news here.
Am using the openSuSE branded version of LibreOffice 3.3.3 OOO330m19
(Build:301) tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1 on openSuSE 11.3 and KDE 4.4.4-1.5.
Was editing a document that is pretty important (to me at least) and
during
the process had tried to add a footnote.
I was editing the text in the footnote and almost immediately there was
some
flashing of the screen and LibreOffice crashed, locking up the entire PC.
No mouse control, no keyboard control, nothing.
So I had to "reset" the PC.
Now the document is fubar. When I try to open it, LibreOffice attempts to
recover but fails.
Then it tries to repair the file but opens only a blank page.
I've tried to open it without an extension and get a list of a variety of
application types to attempt any modicum of recovery, but no matter what I
try to open it with it either fails, or opens in a file of unreadable
gibberish.
I'd be THRILLED if someone would be able to actually recover this document
for me.
Nothing secret in it, I'd be happy to email it to anyone who'd like to
give
it a try. Even just to get back the text out of it so that I could
rebuild
would be fabulous.
Any chance at all to recover?
...
Open it with archive manager and see if there is any info in
content.xml. Any surviable text should be in that file.
BTW: Do you by chance have an intel graphics card in your system?
Nope. XFX GEForce 6800 GS 256Mb,
