ls -l ~/.password-store/web/framapad.org.gpg

Does it show a zero byte file? Then yes, your file is lost.

Recover it from a backup. If your password store is a git repository, 
then simply:

     pass git checkout web/framapad.org.gpg

should restore it. However if the zero-byte file has already been 
committed, then you'll need to restore it from a previous commit.
