I hope this is not coursework/homework.
And I assume that you want to check the file names (not the file data)
Code:
basedir=/home
log=$basedir/dummyevents.log

for word in banana apple orange
do
  dir=$basedir/$word
  badfile=0
  
  for fname in $dir/*
  do
    if [ -f "$fname" ]
    then
      case "$fname" in
      *$word*) # these are ok
      ;;
      *) # all others
        echo "Invalid filename '$fname'" # >> $log
        # not redirected here, for efficiency we redirect the whole loop
        badfile=1
      ;;
      esac
    fi
  done >> $log
  
  if [ $badfile -eq 1 ]
  then
    echo "Invalid file in $dir, see $log"
  fi
done

ZIP_SOURCE_FILE(3)					     Library Functions Manual						ZIP_SOURCE_FILE(3)

NAME

       zip_source_file - create data source from a file

LIBRARY

       libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

       struct zip_source * zip_source_file(struct zip *archive, const char *fname); "zip_uint64_t start" "zip_int64_t len"

DESCRIPTION

       The  function zip_source_file creates a zip source from a file.	zip_source_file opens fname and reads len bytes from offset start from it.
       If len is 0 or -1, the whole file (starting from start ) is used.

       The fie is opened and read when the data from the source is used, usually by zip_close.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, the created source is returned.  Otherwise, NULL is returned and the error code in archive is set  to  indicate
       the error.

ERRORS

       zip_source_file fails if:

	      [ZIP_ER_INVAL]
		  fname, start, or len are invalid.

	      [ZIP_ER_MEMORY]
		  Required memory could not be allocated.

	      [ZIP_ER_OPEN]
		  Opening fname failed.
