Ran into this also last week most likely it's due to zip not being included in your php build, as it is in my case running MAMP locally. You can check by looking at your info file, I tried enabling zip by following these instructions

http://developers.enormego.com/view/enabling_php_s_zip_extension_in_mamp

but got errors.

Hope that helps a little.

It was the zip extension, I upgraded my MAMP to the latest version which has it enabled and now it works but I also had to up my max_allowed_packet=16*1024*1024; Working now.

The solution of enabling the zip extension and increasing the defined max_allowed_packet seems to work. Marking this issue as closed.
