The zip command doesn't appear to have a man page on my system, despite 
being installed as part of the developer tools. However:

	$ zip -h
	Copyright (C) 1990-1996 Mark Adler, Richard B. Wales, Jean-loup Gailly
	Onno van der Linden and Kai Uwe Rommel. Type 'zip -L' for the software 
License.
	Zip 2.1 (April 27th 1996). Usage:
	zip [-options] [-b path] [-t mmddyy] [-n suffixes] [zipfile list] [-xi 
list]
	  The default action is to add or replace zipfile entries from list, 
which
	  can include the special name - to compress standard input.
	  If zipfile and list are omitted, zip compresses stdin to stdout.
	  -f   freshen: only changed files  -u   update: only changed or new 
files
	  ...

I find that on my system `zip -rv Applications/iChatAV/` behaves as you 
might expect - are you using the -r option?
