The below code worked for me .

namespace Business\Controllers\API;
use Phalcon\Mvc\Controller;
use Phalcon\Http\Response;
use ZipArchive;

class DownloadController extends \Business\Controllers\API\ApiControllerBase

{

public function createZipAction()
{   

    // create your zip file
    $zipname = 'bvcards.zip';
    $zip = new \ZipArchive;
    $zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);

  echo "here i am";
  exit;

}

}

Here is a full example:

    $zip = new \ZipArchive();
    $filename = 'test.zip';

    if ($zip->open($filename, \ZipArchive::CREATE)!==TRUE) {
        exit("cannot open <$filename>\n");
    }        
    $zip->addFile('robots.txt', '.htaccess'); 
    $zip->close();

Note the \ before ZipArchive in the open() method. You are missing it and you were probably receiving namespace error.

Please note: in the current example used and generated files are relative to the index.php since in my example this is my bootstrap file. You should set paths according to your configuration.
