We haven't done this in a while (used the <zip> task), but when we did, I had this same problem and ended up doing a file copy where your <if> test is and then calling the <zip> task once with the contents of the temporary subdirectory as the <fileset>. Admittedly, there might have been a more elegant solution, but I was in a hurry at the time and it didn't seem that big a deal to just copy the files, since the entire build directory gets purged at the beginning of each build, preventing bloat.

If I include the condition with in the <zip> task, it is not supported. I've written a separate target that includes files in the zip. Every time this target is called, it overwrites the zip file and creates new one. Here is the code for the two targets I'm using: <target name="include-db-full"> <foreach item="File" property="filename"> <in> <items> <include name="${build.path}\**\*.sql"/> </items> </in> <do> <if test = "${string::contains(filename, 'full')== true}" > <echo message = "${filename}"/> <call target="include-sql-in-package"/> </if> </do> </foreach> </target> <target name="include-sql-in-package"> <zip zipfile="${build.zipfile}" ziplevel="9"> <fileset basedir="${build.path}"> <include name="${filename}"/> </fileset> </zip> </target> Any pointers to resolve the same will be helpful.
