The -O option tries to create an output file with the same name as the source "Test.app" in the current working directory.
Applescript has no good way to set a working directory in a one liner and curl is probably trying to write to some strange place.
I think you can use -o "$HOME/Test.app" with a lower case o to tell curl exactly where to put it.
Try it in Terminal or a BBEdit worksheet first. You can probably include a cd $HOME within the do shell script but that gets you into semicolons that get confusing.
You might also want to look at the -n option in curl which allows you to store passwords in $HOME/.netrc so they don't have to appear in your script.

Applescript syntax is like English spelling:
Roughly, but not thoroughly, thought through.
