CF will serve gzipped content if your origin server provides gzipped content, so you need to see if you get gzipped content from your origin server, which depends on which backend server you're using.

One thing I recently noticed was that nginx doesn't by default serve gzipped data if the request uses HTTP 1.0, which CF does. There's an nginx directive, gzip_http_version, that can be used to allow it.
