You can create the zip file using SQL Stored proc. You need to invoke the shell and call the corresponding program or API to zip the file.
I am not sure what is your exact requirement, but invoking a shell from SQL Proc and calling another program is not a good practice.

If you still want to zip the file using stored proc go through the below links:

I understand that when you execute the stored procedure you are getting the error. Have you tried debugging by inserting some print statements and check which line is throwing the error.
