I had same issue on php 7.2 |ubuntu 18.04 | wordpress 5.2, then I install php7.2-zip using apt install php7.2-zip according to some research but it didn't fix theme update issue from back-end. Then I installed php curl using sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl and that fix the issue.

php curl for ubuntu:

PHP 7.2: sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl
PHP 7.1: sudo apt-get install php7.1-curl
PHP 7.0: sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl
PHP 5.6: sudo apt-get install php5.6-curl
PHP 5.5: sudo apt-get install php5.5-curl
If you don't know your php version: sudo apt-get install php-curl

That sounds like the zip file you are uploading either isn't a zip file or is corrupt.

Try re-downloading the theme from the source and then try uploading again.
