gdal vector info /vsizip/vsicurl/https://www.fema.gov/about/reports-and-data/openfema/cl2024_v1.gdb.zip works for me (GDAL 3.12.3), but takes a couple of minutes, because ZIP isn't great at random access. I actually cancelled it after it printed the name of the third layer.

HTTP 403 is "Forbidden", which is.. interesting.
