The openarena-data family do this (Quake 3 engine PK3 files are just
renamed zip files, too).
The debian/rules is far more complicated than you need, because the
Quake 3 engine's idea of network compatibility requires that the files
in the zip file are in the same order with the same CRC32 checksums,
which gets "interesting" for bytecode executables - if there's a less
crazy package to use as an example, use that one instead :-)
If it's the simplest case (you have to pack up all files from the
directory ./mygame into a zip file named ./mygame.love) you can just
build-depend on zip and do something like this:
override-dh_auto_build:
cd mygame && zip -q -9 ../mygame.love .
