Yeah, looks like you're hitting the Node.js Buffer limit.

Might be able to work around that by using the gulp stream mode here instead of concating the resulting stream:

gulp-zip/index.js

Line 58 in 0772bea

zip.outputStream.pipe(concatStream(function (data) {

But I don't have time to look into it right now, so PR welcome.

Yeah, after this I had a look at a couple of other Node.js zip libraries and it definitely is to do with the Node buffer since they all also have the same problem. Thanks for that link though, I'll have a look into that.
