I have written a Custom tag in Java for this. Search for CFX_JZIP on Macromedia Exchange. That can be helpful also.

And use the component in your Cold Fusion code.
A cheaper solution is to install Winzip on your server with the command line support and use the CFEXECUTE tag to create the zip. Then you can use the CFCONTENT tag to send the zip through the browser.
I am not certain but I think PHP has native support for zipping files that you may want to look into.
