There is a virus scanner installed on the server which hinders the appropriate java classes to be unpacked.
Resolution
Turn off any virus scanner or malware scanner on the server
Restart JIRA
ℹ️ This can also be caused by a heavy load on the server during JIRA startup. See Bundled plugin not available error thrown on Jira server login for more details.
