If this were the case, you would be getting an error condition E2BIG, and the OP says that not errors occur.
I checked and gzip version is as
$ gzip -V
gzip 1.3.5
my server is :SunOS machine Generic_142900-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440

is this gzip version is the cause. I am not seeing any error will running the script.
Intrestingly the >2GB file is getting zip manually
