With orchestra and choir you'd want the mic to go something like 3-4 m high, which is sort of impractical with a Zoom. Some EQ will improve it, you need to - attenuate the LF, either a shelf filter or a parameteric with F = 30 Hz, BW = 4, and gain of around -4 dB - attenuate the mid range around 900 Hz, using a parametric set to that frequency, BW = 1.3, gain -6 dB. - boost th HF, using a parametric with F = 10 kHz, BW = 3, gain = +5 dB. (BW are expressed as relative, as e.g. for my 4-band EQ plugin). That's all you can do to it, the mic was in the wrong place and you can't correct that afterwards.
