If the zipper and its slider are both brass, I've had some success with obtaining a new slider and its pull and using a thin bladed flat scredriver prying the side that is on the side with the fixed stop only slightly apart... just enough to be forced over the teeth and then using a pair of pliers (not the Philipino airlines pilot and co-pilot ) to squeeze it back together just enough to work... If your's is nylon or some such though I don't know if it would work.

Best of luck!
