I don't know if you sorted thisone out, but I stumbled over Back It Up a  
freeware app that zips folders, files etc according to rules you lay down.


"A backup program. Backup creates ZIP files, mirror functions via copy or  
FTP. Several backup sets can be configured. Folders and separate files can  
be added to each backup set. For each backup set there's the option to  
delete specified files depending on the extension you enter. For each  
backup set extension for files that should not be included in the backup  
can be specified. Back it up! takes command line arguments so it can be  
executed from a batch files for example. Or create special  
shortcuts(wizards built in for this)."

looks pretty close to helping with your situation.
