From midnight commander highlight the directory that you want to zip, then press F2 to get to the user menu, then @ to perform an operation on it. You can now enter zip -r archive.zip followed by return, where archive.zip is that name of the zip file that you want to create.

given that the program 'zip' is available, the following should work:

zip -r archive_name.zip folder

zip -r parent-directory parent-directory

If you have zip installed on your Unix host.

It will create parent-directory.zip file and it can be unzipped on Windows using native unzip Windows program.
