Are you using the ZIC: device?  Are you using the same drive on the Amiga as on the PC?  If not, can the two be swapped for testing?  It's entirely possible that the Amiga drive has gone bad considering the age and the drive's susceptibility to failure.

That is weird.  So, everything worked before between Amiga and PC then stopped working, and Amiga to Amiga still works?  You haven't made any changes to your ZIC: device, or to your CrossDOS handler, correct?  I have had problems with Zip drives and CrossDOS before, but this particular issue is not familiar.  That you can read and write on the Amiga would indicate to me that it's not write-protected -- I don't believe Zips differentiate between writing and formatting.
