@burnout426 Thankyou for your detailed suggestions. Results follow:
Internet Explorer
http://www.rae.es - Displays successfully
https://www.google.co.uk - Can’t reach this page, Make sure the web address https://www.google.co.uk is correct
https://www.amazon.co.uk - Can’t reach this page, Make sure the web address https://www.amazon.co.uk is correct
Edge
http://www.rae.es - Displays successfully
https://www.google.co.uk - Can’t connect securely to this page
This might be because the site uses outdated or unsafe TLS security settings. If this keeps happening, try contacting the website’s owner.https://www.amazon.co.uk - Can’t connect securely to this page

Removed from ZoneAlarm, but it puts it back automatically when Opera is restarted, without asking me. Getting it from a cache of previously recognised programs perhaps? I am sure that I have successfully removed it before retrying, as there were many entries removed and only the current one comes back.
Only Firewall is active in ZoneAlarm.
Date etc. settings all correct.
No proxy, auto detect off.
IP4 & 6 both "obtain automatically" for IP and DNS
No active entries in /etc/hosts file.

@batbox50 is your pc date/time correct? TLS errors can be if old date is set

In Opera, goto https://www.google.co.uk/ for example and after it gives you the error page, hit ctrl + shift + i and go to the security tab. Maybe the overview there will reveal the issue.
You could scan your computer with Malwarebytes. You'll probably have to use Firefox to download it though. Maybe something is trying to do a man in the middle on your secure connections.

@batbox50 may it be blocking by Zone Alarm. You should review its settings carefully.
a similar problem here Secure Connection Failed Problem

@burnout426 Interesting idea.
Security overview says "This page is not secure" but then shows certificate as valid and all resources being served securely - somewhat contradictory.

@mixim-0 Smart idea! Not Zone Alarm, though, but Bitdefender. It's the Online Threat Prevention > Encrypted web scan. Now I've turned that off I can access the pages again. I think this must be something new they put into the last release - Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2019 Build 23.0.10.31 which was updated on my pc 21/09/2018.
Of course, now Bitdefender is maoning at me, but I'll have to take that up with them.
Thanks for all who made suggestions - I've learned a lot about all sorts of things in this, albeit painful, process.

@batbox50 You are probably wondering why I didn't think of checking Bitdefender before.
Of course, I did check its Notifications to see if it was objecting to any activity - it never showed any warning or information that it had taken action against any threat!

@batbox50 Interesting. Another user just had issue with Bitdefender messing things up. https://forums.opera.com/post/156115
