To do it with zip, use `zip <file.zip> -'

However, gzip is a better compression than zip, and bzip2 better again.


# cat /var/log/squid/access.log|zip access.log.zip -
  adding: - (deflated 87%)

# cat /var/log/squid/access.log|gzip -9 > access.log.gz

# cat /var/log/squid/access.log|bzip2 -9 > access.log.bz2

# du -sh /var/log/squid/access.log access.log.*
1.5M    /var/log/squid/access.log
144K    access.log.bz2
188K    access.log.gz
200K    access.log.zip
