Colab images change periodically and at least when I try, it stopped working:

[data.zip]
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of data.zip or
        data.zip.zip, and cannot find data.zip.ZIP, period.

For my libraries I use a GitHub Action to test from time to time if the example notebooks are still working on Colab (but it requires a paid runner as the colab docker image is large).
