First off, you need to install the zip / unzip tool from the shell command. In the Application> System Tools> Terminal. You log into as root account, type the following commands to install zip and unzip program on Debian or Ubuntu Linux:

Code:
apt-get install zip
apt-get install unzip
OR
Code:
sudo apt-get install zip unzip
Once Zip and Unzip installed on the server, you run the following command to install:

Code:
yum install zip
yum install unzip
To Unzip the zip file to a different folder is as following:

Code:
cd /var/www/domain
yum unzip filename.zip
CD command will move the current folder to a new folder that you targeted.

If you want to Zip a directory with a custom name for downloading it to your PC

Code:
zip -r filename.zip cd /var/www/domain/folderzip
Good luck!
