Are you trying to download or install the zip file?

I have my shield shared on my network.  I then download the files on my computer and copy them to the shield's hard drive.  If you don't have that you can also use ES File Explorer:

Here is the kodi how to guide if you are try install files already on the shield:

Let me know if you need additional help.

BTW, if you have your shield on your local network and want to be able to browse to it from a Windows machine or via Samba, then you have to have Plex Media Server enabled and then go to Storage & Reset settings and enable Over Local Network. I learned this the hard way because I had the Plex Media Server app disabled and no longer had the setting.
