how to zip particular folders in linux using shell

Let say we have a directory structure like: 

A
|---B
|   |---C
|   |   |--f1.txt
|   |
|   |---D
|   |   |--f2.txt
|
|---E
|   |---f3.txt
|   |
|
|---F
|   |---f4.txt

Now how to zip a file BE.zip excluding F directory, i.e when I unzip BE.zip the result should be:

|---B
|   |---C
|   |   |--f1.txt
|   |
|   |---D
|   |   |--f2.txt
|   
|---E
|   |---f3.txt
