Zinc hydroxide, Zn(OH)2 in the presence of strong base will pick up two additional hydroxides to form zincate ion, Zn(OH)4–2 which is water soluble. In acid, the hydroxide associated with zinc hydroxide will react with hydronium to produce water. The reaction product will be the zinc salt of the associated acid. However, not all acids will produce soluble salts of zinc. The exceptions include phosphoric acid, sulfurous acid and hydrogen sulfide which produce insoluble zinc salts.

Yes, because of the formation of a soluble complex ion :
Zn(OH)2(s) + 2OH-(aq) >>>> {Zn(OH)4]^2- soluble complex ion
