is it possible to use such files in irrlicht?

No, and it also does not make sense, because zip encryption is easy to hack. You'll find lots of free tools doing that for you. Better use a real encryption if you really want to hide things.

you can also do simple encryption, by open up zip with hex editor, adding junks here and there, so people have no idea what kind of file is this, and then change the addZipFileArchive() function to remove the junks you added

If you don't mind to adding some stuff to Irrlicht then you can use this:

Even without encryption this will be enough to scare of most people from digging into the contents of a database-archive.
