Depending on in what fashion your Data.fs is corrupted... could be that only certain area's are broken.  Could be anything in the ZMI (Zope Manage Interface) triggering it.

I have no experience with trying to fix a corrupted Data.fs.  But one idea might be to transfer as much out of that Data.fs into another Data.fs as possible.  And then start redoing missing pieces in the second Data.fs (you can transfer content from one Zope to another Zope with tools like ZSyncer).
