I have my own version of zip plugin which does that - not only creates a zip but also merges other zips.

In fact I wrote it for other team at my work and I don't use it anymore at the moment that's why I am not addig it to cvs. If it will work for you (you can modify it to match your needs) I can add it to cvs. It is nothing fancy - no more then 100 lines of jelly ...
