What exact command did you use?
ex.:
Code:
zip newzipfilename.zip /var/log/mylog.log

you would use

Code:
gzip -S .1.gz /var/log/mrnet.log

But from the filepath and name you really should setup a logrotate entry as /etc/logrotate.d/mrnet something like this

Code:
/var/log/mrnet.log
{
    weekly
    create
    compress
    rotate 4
    missingok
}
