It is a more complicated that I thought, but this is because of the
behavior of zip. If I use this setting zip creates a zip archive that
contains the file, but the whole absolute path, and that is crazy.


(setf (alist-get "\\.zip\\'" dired-compress-file-alist) "zip -9 --junk-paths %o %i")

Gives a bit better result, but 

Starting with test.tex
it generates test.tex.zip

And that is then uncompressed to 

 test.tex/test.tex

So an additional directory is created. 

I try to search for a complete solution.
