zip is enabled in my php info.

Answer 1

When you run composer from the command line it's unlikely you're using the same version of PHP that XAMPP is using to run your website, which is likely why it's reporting the missing zip issue here.

The simplest fix would be to ignore the platform requirements (in this case ext-zip) during the install by running composer install --ignore-platform-reqs.

Answer 2

Would you please run:

composer require phpoffice/phpspreadsheet

If phpspreadsheet is already installed. Then, upgrade the version in composer.json. Just replace existing version with the compatible version.Example, Replace with:
"phpoffice/phpspreadsheet": "^1.9",

And run composer update
For more details phpspreadsheet
Also, check zip module via php -m if it exists or not for sure. If, you can't find zip module there. You have to install it, already your error saying, it does not exist in your system - visit.
