WinZip is a tool to make working with Zip files and other types of archive files easier. Let's start off by discussing some of the words used to describe the files and the processes.

WinZip files, which are also referred to as "archives", are files that contain other files. Zip files are the most common format. Typically, the files contained in a WinZip file are compressed.
Add means "compress files and add them to a WinZip file." Some people use the verbs "zip" or "pack" instead of "add"
Unzip means "decompress files from a WinZip file to create separate files on a disk". Some people use the verbs "extract" or "unpack" instead of "unzip."
