Are you sure, that you do not use an NPM proxy with an incomplete package database instead of npmjs.org?

Enquiring npmjs.org show that the version is available:

❯ npm get registry
https://registry.npmjs.org/

❯ npm v timezone-support@1.8.1
timezone-support@1.8.1 | MIT | deps: 1 | versions: 25
Lightweight time zone support for your applications or other date libraries.

Try it with node v12 please?

I get this:

I'm afraid that I can't reproduce it with Node.js 12.

You should consider upgrading to a supported Node.js version, preferably a LTS, but I doubt that this problem will disappear.

You got an error "incorrect data check". It looks like a corrupted package archive. You could also try downloading and testing it:
