extract from man zip
( linux version )
zip -@ foo
will store the files listed one per line on stdin in foo.zip.
example from the same man page
find . -name "*.[ch]" -print | zip source -@
So steps will be :
build a list off all files to be archive , format must one file name by line
run
zip
command
cat BIG_FILENAME_LIST.txt | zip thebigziparchive -@
