zip is indeed the standard and common command for this, if you don't have it, install it. gzip is definitely not the same thing.
Once you have it, you can use it like zip file.zip a1.txt a2.txt a3.txt which will create a zip file containing all the listed files. Wildcards like a*.txt ought to work.

ziparchive.addfile
ZIPARCHIVE.ADDFILE(3) 1 ZIPARCHIVE.ADDFILE(3)
ZipArchive::addFile - Adds a file to a ZIP archive from the given path
SYNOPSIS
bool ZipArchive::addFile NULL (string $filename, [string $localname], [int $start], [int $length])
DESCRIPTION
Adds a file to a ZIP archive from a given path.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- The path to the file to add.
o $localname
- If supplied, this is the local name inside the ZIP archive that will override the $filename.
o $start
- This parameter is not used but is required to extend ZipArchive.
o $length
- This parameter is not used but is required to extend ZipArchive.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
This example opens a ZIP file archive test.zip and add the file /path/to/index.txt. as newname.txt.
Example #1
Open and add
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open('test.zip') === TRUE) {
$zip->addFile('/path/to/index.txt', 'newname.txt');
$zip->close();
echo 'ok';
} else {
echo 'failed';
}
?>
NOTES
Note
When a file is set to be added to the archive, PHP will lock the file. The lock is only released once the ZipArchive object has
been closed, either via ZipArchive::close or the ZipArchive object being destroyed. This may prevent you from being able to delete
the file being added until after the lock has been released.
