for example, does it contain the name of your pc, location… this kind of information that leaks your privacy?

This sounds like an issue of the encrypting software/app/program itself rather than the zip file format. AFAIK, it should not include any other piece of metadata from the source itself.

I think the actual metadata of the files inside rather than along the zip file itself are the one that cpuld betray you (like the picture metadata including your location and device IDs).
