>From the Zip documentation:

       -t mmddyy
              Do not operate on files modified prior to the spec-
              ified date, where mm is the month (0-12), dd is the
              day  of  the  month (1-31), and yy are the last two
              digits of the year.  For example:


                           13 Apr 1996                          7


                     zip -rt 120791 infamy foo

              will add all the files in foo and  its  subdirecto-
              ries that were last modified on or after 7 December
              1991, to the zip archive infamy.zip.

You might have to do this manually unless you can write a script to get
the date from the system and insert that into the zip command, but it
would seem to archive only files modified after a specific date.
