-- I tried zip command which worked for all files in the folder.
-- Just a novice in Shell scripting
-- Linux
-- bash
I will be trying to extend my code to include "for" for specific range of files to be zipped.

Finally achieved what I wanted.
Now folder will have only zip files. So one less work - no need of deletion of individual files in folder.
Here is the code :
------------------
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#NOW will hold the date format as : yyyyddmmhhmiss
NOW="$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S")"
#LIMIT the number of files to go in each zip file
LIMIT=2
COUNT=0
#DIR is initialized with initial value 0001 and later in the code it is incremented. While loop is required to put leading zeros to DIR.
DIR=0001
#Start FOR loop for number of xml files in the folder
for FILE in *txt
do
#Add each file to zip with zip filename
zip -r $NOW-$DIR $FILE
let COUNT=$COUNT+1
#If the for loop reaches the Limit, then start putting files into new zip file
if [ $COUNT -eq $LIMIT ]
then
# base 10 ie. 10# is used in the code below to avoid error : value too great for base
let DIR=10#$DIR+1
#WHILE loop is needed to put the leading zeros to the variable DIR
while [ ${#DIR} -ne 4 ];
do
DIR="0"$DIR
done
COUNT=0
fi
done
