The Zip File Data Format is a message compression and de-compression format. Messages can be marshalled (compressed) to Zip files containing a single entry, and Zip files containing a single entry can be unmarshalled (decompressed) to the original file contents. This data format supports ZIP64, as long as Java 7 or later is being used.

Since Camel 2.1312.3 there is also a aggregation strategy that can aggregate multiple messages into a single Zip file.

...

   from("file:input/directory?antInclude=*/.txt")
     .aggregate(new ZipAggregationStrategy())
       .constant(true)
       .completionFromBatchConsumer()
       .eagerCheckCompletion()
     .setHeader(Exchange.FILE_NAME, constant("reports.zip"))
   .to("file:output/directory");

Dependencies

To use Zip files in your camel routes you need to add a dependency on camel-zipfile which implements this data format.
