The filesystems and kernel have supported larger files for some time now, but many programs still do not support it. (Programs have to be explicitly compiled with large file support in order to work with files biggger than 2 gig.) What this means is that the zip command is just not going to work for you in this case. You will need to make several smaller zip files instead of one big one.
