There's whole bunch of file management components including one to zip an archive. Just take a look at the palette to see what's there.
You can use various variables and date methods to construct your file names.

Just use tFileArchive - it has all the settings you should need.

How would you handle naming conflicts i.e. files of the same name in different folders?
Assuming there are none, you would have to move all the files into one folder first (tFileList --> tFileCopy) and then archive them.

As I said, move all the files into one folder first (using tFileList -iterate-> tFileCopy) and then tArchive them.
