Use a tar -cvf type command.

Grab winRAR. Beats the crap out of limiting yourself to just zip files!

Go to the top level directory (the one that contains the subdirs you wanna zip up), and give this command:

find . -type d -maxdepth 0 -exec zip -ur {}.zip {}/* \;

The find command will start in your current working directory (.), look for all things that are directories (-type d), and for each, it will execute (-exec ... \;) the command given, substituting {} for the name of the directory found. The -maxdepth 0 makes sure it doesn't go into the subdirectories recursively.

The command (zip -ur) does the standard update/recursive zip.

do a "man find" and a "man zip" to fine tune the options.
