I am trying to install a VSIX package downloaded from the Marketplace using wget on a Linux VM where the VSCode server is installed but I am getting the below error:
$ wget -nv https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/publishers/llvm-vs-code-extensions/vsextensions/vscode-clangd/latest/vspackage -o vspackage.vsix
$ code --install-extension vspackage.vsix
Installing extensions on SSH: boozy-olive-harrier...
Corrupt ZIP: end of central directory record signature not found
Failed Installing Extensions: vscode-remote://ssh-remote%2Bboozy-olive-harrier/root/vspackage.vsix
Downloading the file with Firefox on Windows and using the "Install from VSIX..." button inside the VSCode client (ref) works as expected.
The URL I am using is this one: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/publishers/llvm-vs-code-extensions/vsextensions/vscode-clangd/latest/vspackage
I compared the md5sum of the downloaded files and I don't get the same if I download the file from Windows or Linux:
Linux VM:

The hash of the downloaded file is not the same even though the download URL is.
It seems I am missing a few bytes on Linux which would explain the Corrupt ZIP error.
Does somebody understand what I am missing here?
I tried the URL you supplied
$ wget -nv https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/publishers/llvm-vs-code-extensions/vsextensions/vscode-clangd/latest/vspackage
2021-02-11 09:04:22 URL:https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/publishers/llvm-vs-code-extensions/vsextensions/vscode-clangd/latest/vspackage [1270960/1270960] -> "vspackage"
Let's see what vspackage is
$ file vspackage
vspackage: gzip compressed data, max speed, from FAT filesystem (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT), original size modulo 2^32 1416661
That isn't a zip, it is a compressed gzip file. Let's uncompress that
$ mv vspackage vspackage.gz
$ gunzip -v vspackage.gz
vspackage.gz: 10.3% -- replaced with vspackage
What is vspackage now ?
$ file vspackage
vspackage: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
Finally, a zip file.
