If there is a part download there are times which this is detected as zero and re downloaded.

Also when doing a force recheck if aBT crashers the size is shown as 0 then you re start and the download is started from the beginning.

Sometimes after a crash the value is shown as 0 and the download begins from the start.

Please actively check for existing data and files before starting a download.

qBT v3.1.9

Just so you know, latest is 3.1.9.2. I think you should have gotten an update popup.

How do you use "keep incomplete torrent in:" feature?

This is a setting in the tools->options... Have you enable that? If yes, the it explains your problem. That feature is a little bit problematic.
