• Display more information during compression: zip -v archive.zip file
• Do not compress directories during compression: zip -c archive.zip file
• Compress empty files during compression: zip -z archive.zip file
• Set the file name suffix for the compressed file, usually '.zip': zip -a archive.zip file
• Do not save path information during compression: zip -j archive.zip file
• No compression: zip -0 archive.zip file
• Fastest compression method: zip -1 archive.zip file
• Medium compression method: zip -2 archive.zip file

• To compress multiple files, simply add the filenames to be compressed after the command. For example, to compress files 1.txt, 2.txt, and 3.txt into a ZIP file named "archive.zip", use the following command: zip archive.zip 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt
