I was using zip generically. But I think pkzip aka winzip aka not-gzip only accepts ascii filenames. I still think you're better off using some sort of encrypted filesystem. You can't get public key encryption, but you can setup two-factor encryption, where someone can't login unless they have both a passphrase and a key-file or smart-card or something like that that has been authorized by the admin.
