demos.zip   16,159,857 bytes (7-zip internal zip)
demos.zip   16,317,563 bytes (Total Commander zip, level 9)

7zip is best, it also produces smaller zip files when used as zip packer.

Demos from some other games compress even better, for example TF2 compressed to 40-50% size, because no encryption is used from demos.

Im a big fan of 7zip... also nice because where I work the firewall doesnt filter out this extension (yet).... good compression on most files compared to winzip, a few though for video came up larger, but best overall.
