.ODT files are simply LibreOffice or OpenOffice file types. (They aren't "zip files", just FYI). The iPhone won't be able to recognize them natively. Meaning it's not built into the functionality of the iPhone.
According to this document, Microsoft Office on the iPhone can read .ODT files. Perhaps try that.
Good luck! 👍

Open the email on a computer to deal with the zip file. I am not aware of a way to open a zip file on the iPhone. And I'm not so sure that the iPhone has a viewer that will open an .odt file, that is not a standard extension. You may have to try to open that on a computer and save it as another file type, such as .doc, or .rtf, or .txt.
The site you gave me says to choose the “open” option as some apps do. But it is not offered. Only preview. 5 pages are gibberish and the last is an actual document I need. I tried to send screenshot of what I am looking at but will not copy it in.
Ok thx. I will try it. But, the attachment actually says Zip🤭
Screenshot - no option to “open”?
