More information would be handy to help give a reasonable answer.  What
OS are you using?  What MUA are you using?  What are you trying to
encrypt in your email?  If you're using WinZip currently, I would
assume you're just looking to encrypt the attachment.  Are you also
looking to be able to encrypt (and sign) the entire email message?  Is
compression necessary for your application?

As far as email encryption is concerned, typical methods for this
application usually consist of either SSL certificates or PGP/GPG
encryption.
