you can also try something like 7-ZIP or WinRK they sould give you better compresstion then zip or rar.
take a look at this link it has benchmark test for lots of compressions
http://www.maximumcompression.com/benchmarks/Squeeze%20Chart%202005.pdf
I remember a long long time ago when i dl renegade(for a friend) the file was 140MB it was a winzip(exe) wich unziped in to like 30 winace archives and they unaced in to about 1/2 renegade and then there was also 1-2 other compressed files which had the sound... took a while to uncompress but when it was all done the 140MD compressed file became 800+MB of renegade...
PS winzip sux... I almost allways get better comprestion with normal winrar then with max comprestion of zip. And 7-ZIP or WinRK are even better.
PPS also if you try to compress a CD Image like a bin/que or img you won't get good compresion if you copy al the files out in ot a forlder and then compress it i found you get much better results
