if it *must* be all of that, then no.

a password will be required to unzip an encrypted zip file any time
it's double-clicked, however, you'll have an unencrypted copy which
will then need to be deleted afterwards, and if any modifications are
made, those would be lost unless it's re-encrypted and replaces the
original zip file.
