You want to have a look at Chapter 9 of TFM:

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.15/cvs_9.html#SEC80

especially 9.2. tells you how to "rescue" your file. I would do it from
a unix machine, this is better than the other proposed solution (IMO):

[... somewhere in the repository on the unixoid machine ...]

cvs admin -kb <zipfilename.zip>
cvs update -A <zipfilename.zip>

HTH,
   Spiro.
