What's in the archive? Maybe the contents will tell you what the
original name used to be.
Did netscape crash on you while you were dowloading some zip-archive?
Did unzip die on you for some reason or other?
Did you computer crash so you had to reboot?
Well, then again this file should be in the lost+found directory if it
has been slavaged by fsck...
Who is the owner of the file? If it's not you, could this be a breach
in your system's securty?
