ZIP file with project in Downloads section can not unzip - duplicate names of folders and files

I downloaded the ZIP file, but it can not unpack. When unzipping, Windows finds files with same names and can not unpack the project. I.e. there is a file called "build", with 0 bytes, and also folder with the same name. Then, folder is not unzipped.

Were ZIP files made inproperly?

Ok, I had to use 7zip to unzip the file properly, but now it can not be imported into Android Studio. It asked to download and install some updates to SDK and when that finished, I am now getting following errors:

Error:(18, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'runProguard()' Possible causes:<ul><li>The project 'FunFacts' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method. <a href="open.wrapper.file">Open Gradle wrapper file</a></li> <li>The build file may be missing a Gradle plugin. <a href="apply.gradle.plugin">Apply Gradle plugin</a></li>

What can I do? My project broke and I would not like to have to start from the start?
