Hey! Copied from the manpage (http://linux.math.tifr.res.in/manuals/man/zip.html) If the file list is specified as -@, [Not on MacOS] zip takes the list of input files from standard input. Under UNIX, this option can be used to powerful effect in conjunction with the find(1) command. For example, to archive all the C source files in the current directory and its subdirectories: find . -name "*.[ch]" -print | zip source -@ This should be exactly what you want!
