If anyone needs this yet, there is StreamEx.zipWith function in streamex library:

StreamEx givenNames = StreamEx.of("Leo", "Fyodor")
StreamEx familyNames = StreamEx.of("Tolstoy", "Dostoevsky")
StreamEx fullNames = givenNames.zipWith(familyNames, (gn, fn) -> gn + " " + fn);

fullNames.forEach(System.out::println);  // prints: "Leo Tolstoy\nFyodor Dostoevsky\n"
