The editorconfig-emacs mode does indeed have config for excluding modes and 
buffers:
 
https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-emacs/blob/master/editorconfig.el#L338

I tried excluding the Zip-Archive major mode, but that had no effect:
jar files in projects with .editorconfig files, still failed to open
correctly.

But the editorconfig-exclude-regexps which matches buffer names, worked
for me:

I replaced the customizations with hand-written config in my .emacs and
the following also works:

  (setq editorconfig-exclude-regexps '("\\.jar$")))
