Handle zero chunk size

The existing implementation of the method
getChunkSize(...) (uint64, error), in some cases,
can return chunkSize==0 and err==nil.

The onus is on the caller to check for such possibility
and handle it properly.
Callers often use the returned chunkSize as a divisor and
a zero chunkSize lead to panic.
see #209

This PR intends to update the method implementation to
always return an error in case the returned chunkSize
value is 0.
That way caller need to only worry about error being non-nil.

Callers which are ok with 0 chunkSize can check the returned
error against ErrChunkSizeZero
