If I changed a PowerPoint extension to ".zip," then open the zip file, and make one the files inside of it ready only, next I rename the zip file back to a .PPTX, would that prevent me from saving changes to the PowerPoint file afterwards?
Lets  us say a zip file contains PowerPoint data, or the file's extension was changed from ".pptx" to "zip," then I modify one of the files inside the zipped file, using Windows Zip, what impact would that be, if I changed the zip file back to the PowerPoint file? Would the PowerPoint file be corrupted?
Can you change the a zipped file properties such a read only, if the zipped file was once a PowerPoint file?

the easiest way to know that is by testing it
take a backup  of that file, and try it
When you rename .pptx into .zip it will create sub-folders like _rels, docProps, ppt. Again you change .zip into .pptx (without changing file location, drive) it will not corrupt you can easily use it.

next I rename the zip file back to a .PPTX, would that prevent me from saving changes to the PowerPoint file afterwards?

You can easily change the content and save it.

as I tested no
