What if we want to secure the entire zencart site including products, admin etc other than just (login and checkout )? Does Zen Cart provide this ? e.g. not to switch between http and https, just https all the way.

If you need to, yes.
Why do you feel that you need your entire storefront to be https?.

Re: Can I run my whole site as https?
Bear in mind that your site will be much slower to load due to continuous encryption of transmitted information.
ZC automatically switches between http and https when required provided it is configured the right way - so there is nothing to worry.
Having the whole admin part on https can be useful though. After all, it does not affect the download speed available to the general public.

Follow this guide https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=14
Setting the HTTP_SERVER to an https url will get you what you want.
What ever your reasons maybe.
