Sure. A simple VBS script can determine the current date, and back up X days to determine the filename(s) to be added.
Admittedly this is much simpler on a monthly schedule that a weekly schedule, since you could just go by the first part of the file name with wildcards. However, in your case, just loop through the past X days, calling the command line WinZip to add the file(s) for that date. Or even better, loop through and generate a list of filenames to add to the zip file, and make one call to add them all.
