for /R /D %I in (*) do zip -j "%~fI\%~nI.zip" "%~fI\*"

for <recursive> <work with directory names> <set directory name to %I> in
<all files> do zip <junk directory tree> "<directory path>\<directory
name>.zip" "<directory path>\*"

I tried that on the same dummy tree I mentioned earlier, and got this:
1\1.zip
2\2.zip
3\3.zip
3\3a\3a.zip

Which I think is what you're after. The -j in the zip command sets it to
"junk" the directory structure. If you're not getting much compression out
of the files, you might want to use -<n> to set the compression level. -0
will just store the files (quickest), -3 gets an average compress/CPU time
ratio and -9 will compress as much as possible.
