Urgh, Stuffit. Hasn't that been consigned to its own circle of hell by now?

That would be the best solution. Avoids locking your data into a dying proprietary compression format, apart from anything else. Use ditto if you want to preserve any resource fork gubbins; gzip if you don't. Example:
set src_path to "/Users/foo/test/"
set dest_path to "/Users/foo/test.zip"
do shell script "ditto -ck " & quoted form of src_path & space & quoted form of dest_path
