Grabing the same timestamp from files that are ZIPPED

Hi,

I am zipping more than 20 files that has same timestamp in all of them. I need to create the zip file with the same timestamp as in the files that are zipped.

So I have files:
Code:
Dummytest_20140601W110515_file1.txt
Dummytest_20140601W110515_file2.txt
.......
.......
Dummytest_20140601W110515_file20.txt
......

The first one in bold above is the date =20140601
The first second one in bold above is the time upto seconds =110515

All I am trying to get is the zip the above files with the same timestamp as in the files. Something like: APP_Deg_Dummy_20140601TM110515_File.zip. The date and time needs to be same as in the file.

I tried the code below: But the timestamp is different in the Zip file. I need the timestamp to be same as in the files.
Also, we are not using gzip at all.

zip APP_Deg_Dummy_`date +%Y%m%d`TM`date +%H%M%S`_File.zip *.txt


Will appreciate your advice.

Thanks
