This solution will use 7-Zip to zip the output files to the solutions folder.

Create this zipper.bat file and place it in your solution folder:

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z" a -y -tzip %2 %1 -mx5

echo done

Add this line to your Post-build events: 

call "$(SolutionDir)zipper.bat" "$(TargetDir)" "$(SolutionDir)zipped.zip"

No, there is no easy way, AFAIK, you can either use a .bat file and call it on the post-build event, or you can use a MSBuild Script or FAKE to use F# as scripting.
