Problem

When I drag files from a .ZIP file my friend sent me, it barks: Do you want to copy this folder without encryption?` A problem is preventing that folder from being encrypted. What's causing the error? (When I use 7Zip or WinRar to unzip that same folder, there's no warnings/errors whatsoever.)

Fix for: What is encryption loss when unzipping?

Low Risk

The inital files probably had their NTFS encryption set. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Unless it doesn't open. Then you need to tell your friend to send the files to you unencrypted :)
