     From what I read back when the Click of Death was first noticed, it was
more likely to infect built-in drives.

     Anyway, one thing that can't be good for a Zip drive is having to
repeatedly zero in order to try finding a weak track. If you notice a disk is
starting to produce that behavior, you can avoid trouble by moving the
contents to a new disk.
