mscz files are zipped files. 7-zip cannot open your file and it does not even have the correct file header signature for the zip format. It should be "PK" but I found "CT" and I know no file format which uses "CT" as signature. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures)
So MuseScore has no chance to open it either.
Look in the hidden folder ".mscbackup" to see if you can still find a backup file.

Yes, similar - looks a bit different - more like a memory dump.
Try to find your file in one of this locations:
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\cloud_scores
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\cloud_scores\.mscbackup
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Scores
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Scores\.mscbackup
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Cloud_Scores
The files in AppData have cryptic names, so open the last files and see if any of them fit.
Important advice for the future: make a backup regularly!
