Open the file with > and previous contents is overwritten.
BTW if you permanently open it with exec then you can do this

Everything in /tmp is removed on reboot by default on some operating systems unless a local systems administrator decides to change that policy. I have no idea what Ubuntu does by default nor what...

My own tuppence worth on this:

As this is in the Ubuntu sub-forum, ps has a -b (size in bytes) option;

Use -j to junk the path element, i.e. zip -u -j this.zip /etc/fstab and you need not run it from inside /etc any more.

The part which does the exclusion is --exclude 'dir1/dir2/file3.txt' so you could try --exclude 'path/to/2019-02-25_11:04'
