@Html.EditorFor() does not have an overload to support htmlAttributes. You could try @Html.TextBoxFor() 

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.propertyName, new {disabled= "disabled" })

If you are using system key words such as class in htmlAttributes please add @ before the attribute name.

Ex:

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.propertyName, new {@class = "disabledClass" })
