Answer 1

I had the same issue and couldn't find the package to do it, so I've written one on my own, as a plugin to archiver package. Pure JS, no external zip software needed.

Here it is - https://www.npmjs.com/package/archiver-zip-encrypted. Supports both legacy Zip 2.0 encryption and AES-256 encryption from WinZip.
