E[x]clude unwanted files from being added to the compressed archive:

zip -r {compressed.zip} {path/to/directory} -x {path/to/exclude}

Archive a directory and its contents with the highest level [9] of compression:

zip -r -{9} {compressed.zip} {path/to/directory}

Create an encrypted archive (user will be prompted for a password):

zip -e -r {compressed.zip} {path/to/directory}

Add files to an existing zip file:

zip {compressed.zip} {path/to/file}

Delete files from an existing zip file:

zip -d {compressed.zip} "{foo/*.tmp}"

Archive a directory and its contents to a multi-part [s]plit zip file (e.g. 3 GB parts):
