Hi Giulio,
I tested your prmtop in my version of parmed and it seems to work fine for
me:

Loaded Amber topology file 5edu_ff19_opc.top
Reading input from STDIN...
> add12_6_4 @ZN watermodel OPC
Adding Lennard-Jones C-coefficient for 12-6-4 potential. Polarizabilities
read from [/mnt/raidc2/200/amber22/dat/leap/parm/lj_1264_pol.dat]. Using
default C4 parameters for water model [OPC].
***********************************************************
The selected metal ion is Zn


I still suspect that you aren't using a recent parmed/AmberTools.
maybe add to your parmed script this help command, and you should see OPC
listed as an option:

> help add12_6_4

add12_6_4 [<ion mask>] [c4file <C4 Param. File> | watermodel <water model>]
          [polfile <Pol. Param File> [tunfactor <tunfactor>] [parm
<idx>|<name>]

    Adds the LENNARD_JONES_CCOEF term for the ion 12-6-4 Lennard-Jones
potential
    term. If provided, the mask will allow you to specify which ions. If not
    provided, :ZN will be used for the mask by default. The C4 parameter
between
    the ion and water can either be taken from the references for the
requested
    [watermodel] (TIP3P, TIP4PEW, SPCE, OPC3, OPC, FB3, and FB4)
