I'll do some investigating and try things out on my own card, and document the process here.

Any updates?
I want to backup EEPROM of Audigy 2ZS card using CH341A clip, but not sure about success.

I restored my 2zs. I desoldered the chip, flashed it on the T48 programmer. The firmware (worked) for 2zs is on the retroweb website

Apparently my card's EEPROM was doing just fine, which is both a good thing and a bad thing - I really wanted to play around with flashing it. The real problem was - apparently you need the driver CD for your exact card model (mine being the original Audigy 2 SB0240). Took me a while to get the original driver CD.

I think it's understandable, my unwillingness to risk harming a working card by taking off a working EEPROM chip. But once I get my hands on a dead one with erased EEPROM, I'll see what comes out of it.
