Sorry, no, the portable Zip for Unix has not yet been released.  If you want 
to help, It is the same Info-Zip newsgroup as for the Unzipper.

I have not managed to figure out how to modify the zipper to compile correctly
on my OS/2 machine yet, and the file handling is not suitable for OS/2 at all
right now..  (Uses DosFindFirst and DosFindNext in Dos, and I'm not positive
what it does in Unix)
