No problem for me to open this file.
Looks like your download got corrupted.

I download from ftp.
I not have problem with .zip.
.7z like complete.

Download the MD5 et SHA1 checksums from the same folder:
http://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vl ... n64.7z.md5
http://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vl ... 64.7z.sha1

Then check if the vlc-3.0.17.4-win64.7z file you have downloaded matches with these checksums. If it doesn't match then your download is corrupted.
My download does match and it does open properly.

I checked it with same browser.
If I download with http protocol work fine.
If I download with ftp protocol it is wrong.

It's working fine for me when using either the HTTP or FTP protocol, I can't reproduce your problem.
