Multiple dots in filename make it fails, try to rename your .zip into Modeling-clothing-28.zip

@lichtwerk, is this one you could look into?

Checked this, and it is not the . in the zipfile name, offending is the . in the foldername inside that zipfile...
2.79 also didnt allow for this (not sure why the report suggests this was working there?)

folder Modeling-Cloth-2.8-master in Modeling-Cloth-2.8-master.zip -> failure
folder Modeling-Cloth-2_8-master in Modeling-Cloth-2.8-master.zip -> success

As the folder will be the python package: pretty sure python doesnt allow for top level packages to contain a .?

For sure bpy.path.module_names() doesnt allow this [which is why this addon then wont be loaded]

What we could do here though is to check inside the .zip if we would find offending package names prior to copying this to the addons folder and tell the user that the installation failed.
