Actually, all xlsx files are zip files (try opening one with e.g. 7zip). The error message from Apache POI indicates that it cannot open the file. Apache POI is a Java library for handling MS documents which is used in all Talend Excel components. Can you open the file in question with MS Excel?

One more thing: is it really an xlsx file or an xls file? If it is an xlsx, you will have to check "Read excel2007 file format(xlsx)" in the tFileInputExcel component. If not, uncheck it.
