I want to write a simple script that takes a known folder, compresses it into a zip file [...] I’m having trouble finding a syntax for compressing or archiving a file or folder.
do shell script "cd '/Path/to/known/folder' ; zip -r '/Path/to/output.zip' ."

This will create an "output.zip" file and put recursively (-r) all content of your known folder into it.
