task createZip(type: Zip) {
    archiveName = "customer.zip"

You could use a FileTree together with Gradle/Groovy filtering capabilities:

Let's say you have your source Customer JSON files under src/customers: you can define a Task like that: 

task createZip(type: Zip) {
    archiveName = "customer.zip"
    destinationDir = buildDir
    from fileTree('src/customers').filter { f -> f.text.contains('"type": "customer"')}
}

Note that this uses Groovy's File.getText() method to read the whole file content into memory to match the "type": "customer" expression. Be careful with performances if you have plenty or huge files to filter.
