when running composer update
Overnight I have made the mistake of my life and allowed my Mac to automatically update the OS, so I am in macOS Catalina now.
I have tried adding
"require": {
"ext-zip": "*",
}
to my composer.json..but its not downloading that extension.

I had the same problem after updating my Mac to Catalina. Here is what worked for me.
brew update
brew install php@7.3
brew link php@7.3
Then reload your console.
It will install php 7.3.10 with zip module. You can use php -v to check for the version, and php -m for the modules.
Following command fixed the issue on macOS Catalina
brew link php@7.3 --force
On 10 March 2020, It works for me:
brew install php
It is the only one command about PHP which work. So, I think that the commands shown in the last posts are deprecated.
If brew link is not working for you, check your php version installed by:
ls /usr/local/opt/php*
Here, you will see a version as such:
/usr/local/opt/php@7.3/bin:$PATH
Should give you an output like:
/usr/local/opt/php@7.3:
INSTALL_RECEIPT.json include
LICENSE lib
NEWS pecl
README.md sbin
bin share
Now you just need to link that to your $PATH which can be done as:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.3/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.3/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
Note: I am using .zshrc because that is my terminal setup. If yours is bash, use accordingly.
You can check which version of php is now linked to your MacOS by running:
which php
This should give you an output of:
/usr/local/opt/php@7.3/bin/php
That's it. Now if you try composer update, it should not give you the extension issue.

Like @marc-alexander said, this is a bad practice. You should not use --ignore-platform-reqs option if you do not sure what you are doing.
I thought the option would ignore the platform requirements and install the specific version of the packages. But in fact it will ignore the platform requirements and install the highest available version of the packages.
So if you need the missing PHP extension, you should just install (or enable) it
Reference: ignore-platform-reqs installs dev-master instead of correct version
