I find the minimal way in Nautilus servers me well for most gui ziping
tasks: Just select a file / files, right click then Create Archive...

Or the WinZip equiv is Archive Manager: Right click on the
Applications menu then, edit menus. Click Accessories on the left then
tick Archive Manager on the right, then click close.

Archive manager will now be available in the Applications -> Accessories menu.
