use -r option

as it is compressed, you can use the below commands
Code:
 
gzip -dc ARCH/${arc_date}.tgz | tar -r $LOG/*.log $REYE/CEP/FiAdapter/Audit.${arc_date}.csv | gzip > archive_new.tar.gz

Code:
 
gunzip your-tar-file
tar rf your-tar-file file1 file2
gzip your-tar-file

You use the -r option to append files to an archive.
