Android - Gradle - app:transformResourcesWithMergeJavaResForDebug java.util.zip.ZipException

Question

When building my project I'm getting:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformResourcesWithMergeJavaResForDebug'.
> java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file

Already tried invalidating gradle caches, deleting them (folder .android\\build-cache) and looking for similar questions.

I'm using latest android plugin and gradle versions (2.3.0 and 3.3).

Trying with previous versions (2.2.3 and 2.14.1) I get a similar error.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception while checking library jar

Gradle file is as follows:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    android.defaultConfig.vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true;
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })

Removing files in app/build dir may help. (It contains a lot of intermediate files, which will be generated again during the next build)
