As a workaround you could add the files one by one to the zip archive. Create a collection of the files in the folder and you can do something like this:

LPARAMETERS toFiles AS cCollection OF aBasicGen, ;
		tcZipFile, tcPassword
*
LOCAL llRetVal
llRetVal = ZipOpen(tcZipFile)
*
IF llRetVal
	*
	FOR EACH lcFileName IN toFiles
		IF VARTYPE(tcPassword) = "C"
			llRetVal = ZipFile(lcFileName, .T., tcPassword)
		ELSE
			llRetVal = ZipFile(lcFileName, .T.)
		ENDIF
	ENDFOR
	*
	ZipClose()
	*
ENDIF
*
RETURN llRetVal
