Sure, tried working files to check how should it look like, but nothing shown for broken ones.

Was promising, but the recover tool does not list the neither the .lxfml nor the png. Tried a few other zip repaires afterwards with no luck. At least I've found my backups from over a year ago. More than nothing :)

This sounded great, but sadly did not work. Thanks for the idea anyway, I was wondering if something similar is possible, but did not know the command.

So recently my windows 8 froze and rejected to boot ever again. After a long day trieing to fix it I finaly gave it up and just installed it again on the same partition as the broken one - like a couple of times before. When i was restoring my files and docs from windows.old folder, I did not find the Lego creations. Then I used 'EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard' to restore them - if You read this stay as far as you can from it. It duplicated most of the files, having the seems-to-be-original one and one with '_000' added to the filename. And here comes the actual problem. When I try to open them in LDD, i get an error message saying 'Unable to load file - Parsing of the file was aborted due to an error in the file'. Neither LDraw reads nor winrar can't open then. Anybody seen this before?
