After sudo apt update:
Reading package lists... Done

Please help to purge Zotero and its apt package
I take it you have read the PSA here?
https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-deb/releases/download/apt-get/./InRelease is downloadable, but github gives sporadic errors like these now, so I'm working with the Zotero project to have them do the hosting of these packages.
The packages are still signed, this is just one of the problems with the changes github made to their hosting. You can switch to the sourceforge mirror, which doesn't have this problem, or do the following to purge the apt packages:
sudo rm -f /usr/share/keyrings/zotero-archive-keyring.gpg
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zotero.list
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get purge zotero
Thanks @retorquere, now sudo apt update is clean again!
... I will try to install Zotero in 2020, but it needs a stable and secure installation, with automatic updates (by apt) and no PPA bugs.
I have no control over when the apt bug is fixed, so I don't track that. When the hosting moves to Zotero the bug won't be triggered anymore.
