    ZZZ files are temporary Zbrush files, it's how it names ZTLs while he's writing into them (=saving).
    If your file hasn't been renamed to ZTL, it's probably that the save process didn't end correctly, and it seems highly unlikely that you'll be able to open it (you can always try renaming it to ZTL yourself and opening it in Zbrush, but I doubt that will work).

    oh well, work is always better when you have to do it a second time right?
