First step is to get a program that can zip the file. If you can already unzip a file, then you have such a program. If you don't have one, download WinZip. Once you have a zip program installed just right click on the file and choose "Add to Zip". Follow the prompts to create a new zip file.

If there's no option to zip when you right click a file you'll need to do it from inside the zipping program. That varies widely depending on what specific program you are using. Tell me what program you're using and I'll see if I can find the specifics.
