That doesn't stop it, it is perfectly harmless output from the 
Archive::Zip module. It just means it couldn't find a zip archive. Which 
happens every time there *isn't* a zip archive.

It continues running, it doesn't stop. I would suspect your SpamAssassin 
setup or your DNS servers. Set "Debug SpamAssassin = yes" and "Debug = 
yes" and then run a single batch through with check_mailscanner. If it 
pauses somewhere, thump Ctrl-S and see what it was doing at the time. 
You may find something simple has happened like your razor or pyzor 
server lists have become out of date.
