The file is not a valid VSIX package. ---> System.IO.FileFormatException: Archive file cannot be size 0. means while you are downloading the vsix package, some network issue occurred. The vsix file size is zero. I downloaded and installed from your link, and it is working as expected.

Verify your download from below checksum. You can use 7zip > CRC SHA > SHA-256 option.

Name: Serene.Template.vsix
Size: 3041807 bytes (2970 KiB)
SHA256: 29e95d0a72c2878e31a182c6b73e7233899a0c976ebdacc6e8c0ef844e1122f4
