Answers:
You must be using a Python version prior to 3.4
unfortunately after reading shutil source code on github github . it’s clearly using zipfile.ZipFile from zipfile this is a closed issue now see here python, so Starting from Python 3.4, ZIP64 extensions is availble by default .
But Prior to Python 3.4, make_archive will not create a file with ZIP64 extensions.
If you are using an older version of Python and want ZIP64, you can use the zipfile.ZipFile() directly which you already mentioned .
