For #1, to download folders as a zip file, there is already an add-on available. Kindly take a look at "Compress and Download" Share Action (ZIP) | Alfresco Add-ons - Alfresco Customizations . It is mentioned that it works for Enterprise v 4.1. The above link gives all the details about the add-on. I think this add-on would be useful for you. If you are using community version then you might need to verify if it is working for community v 4.1 or not.

For #2, For uploading a file back to Alfresco repository, you should be able to use the upload web script available out-of-the-box. See if it works for you.

For #3, You could apply permissions as required (may be by setting up a business rule when a zip file is uploaded or through behaviour/policies)

Hope this helps.
