I don't know about such custom applications, so, a custom script could be adapted to do the job.
As you can see below, for this tasks "find" command would be your friend, and combining it with desired

You've asked for:
1-) removing files that are x-number of days old, 2-) Zipping files "if they are core dumped files" *(Below examples how to zip files, but which is the characteristic of a core dumped file?) 3-) Removing files if they are zero-sized files: Hope it helps,
Characteristic of a core dump? For my application, core dumps are in the form of directories named core_nnnnn, so I assume I should do find -type d -exec zip -r {} ???
