On Windows, check the file size of the document in the File Manager, in Windows Explorer, or by right-clicking the file and choosing Properties.
If you had the Auto Save option turned on in the Application preferences (Go to QuarkXPress > Preferences and select the Save pane), you can try opening the Auto Saved document in QuarkXPress. In Windows, you need to rename the “.asv“ file to “.qxp” and try to open it in the application.

Quark is a bit of a pain for this. There's both an autosave and autobackup option. Hopefully one is set for you.
