Hope I'm not adding to the confusion, but Is this what you are looking for?

If you check in the repos there are apps. that provide a front end in the file manager to compress files.

Or you can easily do it from the command line; with zip for example, to compress a single file

Code:

zip   ouput-file-name.zip   file-to-compress

To compress a whole directory

Code:

zip  -r  ouput-file-name.zip   file-to-compress

I don't think zip is installed out-of-the-box, so:
# apt-get install zip
