"I don't think there's a way to specify the pathname files should have within the zip-file, so you can't say ""store /var/tmp/Readme.txt"" as doc/Readme.txt"".

You would have to create the directory layout on disk first, as a sort of staging area:

mkdir doc
cp -p /path/to/Readme.txt doc
zip foo.zip doc/Readme.txt"
