I've used the Xceed Zip libraries in the past for this and found them very easy to use. The full license is quite pricey, but they do have a 45 day, 100% functional free trial available here:

There is no class for doing this in the .NET Framework itself, but you can use some of the third-party libraries. An open-source DotNetZip seems to be quite good and has a lot of examples to get you started. You'll just need to recursively iterate over all files in the given folder and add them one by one.
