If the description of an event contains a link with an ampersand, the iCal export fails.
For example the link:
https://www.jevents.net/test?xx=5&zz=2
Leads to this warning in the export file, that makes it unusable:
Warning: DOMDocumentFragment::appendXML(): Entity: line 1: parser error : EntityRef: expecting ';' in .../components/com_jevents/libraries/helper.php on line 4274

How was your event created the & should have been converted to a & by your editor

The problem is that it's part of the HTML. It's in the link href attribute. So the editor doesn't convert it:
We use this functionality to add links to download the event flyer. But unfortunately this breaks the subscriptions through the ical feeds.
<a href="https://www.jevents.net/test?xx=5&zz=2">Open the flyer of the event</a>

Which editor are you using in Joomla - if you added
<a href="https://www.jevents.net/test?xx=5&zz=2">Open the flyer of the event</a>
most would convert it to this during saving
<a href="https://www.jevents.net/test?xx=5&zz=2">Open the flyer of the event</a>

Sorry - the forum software has made the correction for me.
The problem is that your URL contains a naked & and not a & a m p ; (spaces added to stop the forum from auto-correcting this).
Which version of JCE are you using?

It's the JCE editor 2.9.32.
That a content editor html encodes the URL in a link sounds strange to me. Usually only the display text is replaced, not the URL. If I HTML-encode the & in the URL in the HTML source, it works. But the opened URL still contains the encoded characters. It's interpreted correctly by the browser I used to test it, but it seems wrong to me.

I've reactivated my membership and posted it again in the member forum:
