No, there isn't, but you can use a third party command line tool from WinZip: http://www.winzip.com/downcl.htm.

In addition to Daniel, see below:
Posted by Torgeir Bakken.
The zip functionality that comes with WinXP/Win2k3 does not have a command
line interface.
Some free zip/unzip programs that can help you:
ZipGenius has a command line interface (freeware)

PowerArchiver has a command line version as well:

CreateBlankZip.vbs FileName.zip
==========================
Set Ag=Wscript.Arguments
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile(Ag(0), 8, vbtrue)
BlankZip = "PK" & Chr(5) & Chr(6)
For x = 0 to 17
BlankZip = BlankZip & Chr(0)
Next
ts.Write BlankZip
Unzip.vbs SrcFldr DestFldr
eg, unzip "C:\..\My Documents" "C:\MyZip.zip"
It doesn't matter if the source is a zip and dest is a folder EXCEPT it only works zipping if there is a msgbox as the last statement. Dunno why. Msgbox is not needed if unzipping. I think it's an object reference thing and zipping is slow. Both Folders/Zips must exist.
===================================
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set Ag=Wscript.Arguments
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set DestFldr=objShell.NameSpace(Ag(1))
Set SrcFldr=objShell.NameSpace(Ag(0))
Set FldrItems=SrcFldr.Items
DestFldr.CopyHere FldrItems, &H214
Msgbox "Finished"
