read about Zipping and unzipping files with Qt http://www.antonioborondo.com/2014/10/22/zipping-and-unzipping-files-with-qt/

@Bharathi Much simpler solution: Use QProcess to call an external zip-program, like:

const QString program = "C:/Program Files/zip.exe";
const QStringList arguments = QStringList() << "-X0q" << fileName << "mimetype";
QProcess process;
process.setWorkingDirectory(epubDirectoryPath);
process.start(program, arguments);
process.waitForFinished(-1);

Since it was not mentioned before, KArchive from KDE (works on all Qt platforms) is capable of zipping/unzipping multiple archive formats and comes with examples.

For zip only QuaZIP in another option. The advantage is that it only links to zlib
