Password protection of zip files is a function of the zip software you use before sending the email.

You could use encryption in SQL Server 2008 to encrypt the data before it's exported to the file. however if you are attaching a file dropped on your file system, you'd need to encrypt it with a command line or use password protection as part of the zip process.
