-- 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

Thanks for supporting me in learning what I should do.

ZZIPLIB-BIN(1) General Commands Manual ZZIPLIB-BIN(1)NAME
zzcat, zzdir, zzxorcat, zzxordir zzxorcopy - small tools using zziplib
SYNOPSIS
zzcat FILE [...] zzdir DIR [...] zzxorcat [-HEX] FILE [...] zzxordir [-HEX] DIR [...] zzxorcopy [-HEX] FILE OUTFILE
DESCRIPTION
zzcat prints the given files to stdout, so you may want to redirect the output. The FILE can be a normal file or an inflated part of a zip
archive (see OPTIONS).
zzdir prints the content table to stdout of the given DIR or zipfile.
zzxorcat prints the given files to stdout, so you may want to redirect the output. The FILE is an inflated part of a zip archive
obfusctated with a xor value optionally given by the HEX option.
zzxordir prints the content table to stdout of the given DIR or zipfile. The DIR can br an inflated part of a zip archive obfusctated with
a xor value optionally given by the HEX option.
zzxorcopy copies data from FILE to OUTFILE adding simple obfuscation by xor-ing each byte with the HEX value given. Remember that copying
data twice with the same xor-value will result in the original file data.
OPTIONS
zziplib-bin tools accept the following options:
FILE Input filename for reading or part (if supported by tool). Part is written as zipname/filename, e.g.: for accessing README inside
of data.zip you'll specify data/README.
DIR Disk directory, zipfile or inflated part of a zipfile.
-HEX Hex number for xor-ing the zipfile contents. If not supplied all tools that use it take 0x55 as default value for xor-ing. OUTFILE
Output file name for zzxorcopy.
