zero_damaged_pages won't help if you don't read the page.  The file
should not have that many pages, and apparently doesn't, so I would
suspect a bad index.  Try REINDEX TABLE on the problem table.  This
will not share the table with any other activity, and may run for a
while so if you are at least somewhat functional and don't want to
block all access to the table for the duration of the builds you
can CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY on each index, drop the old index,
and rename.  Primary keys can be a particular bother this way,
though.
