file_name: The (base) name of a to-be-zipped file
FILES_DIR: The directory where the file lives
PACKED_DIR: The directory where the zip file is created

Zip::ZipFile.open( "#{ PACKED_DIR }/#{ file_name }.zip",
                    Zip::ZipFile::CREATE ) { | zip |
                        zip.add( "#{ file_name }.rb" ,
                                 "#{ FILES_DIR }#{ file_name }.rb" )
		   }

Beware of the line breaks.

HTH

Happy rubying
