I would try starting with the simple case first and see if it works:
Code:
cd /home/gxcare_user/test
zip zzz_timestamp.zip zzz_*.csv
zip yyy_timestamp.zip yyy_*.csv

If those commands work, you might not need the more complicated:
Code:
cd /home/gxcare_user/test
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "zzz_.*.csv" | sed 's!.*/!!'| zip zzz_timestamp.zip -@
