Delete all the zip files. Even if it asks you to download and replace, it will corrupt again. The quicker way is to just delete all the zip files and rebuild, it will automatically download and unzip as required.

The Android m2repository gets corrupted often on my machine.

With Android I also suggest, build against API 23 (6.0) and set you minimum level to 15 (unless you really need API 10). Make sure you don't use the "Latest SDK" selection, that has been known to cause issues in the past as well, select the highest API beneath that.
