To read a shape file you need files with the following extensions, .shp, .shx and .dbf. These can all be in one zip file, but can't be zipped individually

Yeah they all are in the one zip file only shp,dbf,shx,prj files ​. While I am trying to read that zip file which is of nearly 1 gb in fme server it is giving me this error :
