The following creates a zip dynamically, but you could traverse the file
system and do the same thing if you need.

hth,

require 'zip'

Zip::ZipOutputStream.open("c:/zip_test.zip") do |zos|
  zos.put_next_entry("dir_1")
  zos.puts "Hello " * 1000

  zos.put_next_entry("dir_2")
  zos.puts "Hello again"

  zos.put_next_entry("dir_1/sub_dir_1")
  zos.puts "boo!"*10
end

Zip::ZipInputStream.open("c:/zip_test.zip") do |zis|
  while e = zis.get_next_entry
    puts "*******************************************************"
    puts "#{e.name}, orig = #{e.size}, compressed = #{e.compressed_size}"
    puts zis.read
  end
end
