Oh, sorry, I'm wrong.  This is actually fine.  I confused this line with
a full format name and algorithm name line, but you took it from our log
file where we have these on two different lines.  The previous line
probably said:

1 0:00:00:00 - Hash type: ZIP, WinZip (min-len 0, max-len 41 [worst case UTF-8] to 125 [ASCII])
