Are you talking about a Deliver where you've selected Individual Clips so it's outputting individual clips and the last one is corrupted? Or are you talking about outputting a Single Clip and the single resulting file gets corrupted during the render of the last input clip?
If you're doing Individual Clips, as Jim says you could change your In point to be at the beginning of the corrupted Clip and then queue it up again. If you're doing Single Clip, then as Uli says: it's common in long-render environments -- in particular 3D renders -- to output not to a file but to an image sequence. Then you can literally pick up again at the last good frame.
(In the latter case, if the recipient of your output accepts image sequences, you zip it up and pass it to them, but if they aren't familiar with that workflow you can use a variety of tools to turn the sequence into a movie. This should happen quickly and is much less likely to crash, since the image data is already there.)
