Unfortunately there is not much that can be done with this zip file. It is corrupted. I was able to recover level.dat33 up to level.dat73 but there are parts from dat0 to dat32 missing and any gap will make this save file not recoverable.

Merging of level data chunks from different save files is not allowed, it will not give anything usable.
