Since I had a Linux host available, I went around that issue with Windows 
and shell expansion.

pandoc -f html -t epub3 -o output.epub input.html


pandoc ran successfully (no error message), but the EPUB can't be opened in 
a Windows GUI application that supports EPUB files ("Error loading 
file.epub"). Likewise, I can't open the file after changing its extension 
from EPUB to ZIP.

Here's the input files (HTML + PNGs):

Do I need extra options in the command line?
