Yes. Select one or more files and compress them into a ZIP from the file menu, and open archives you receive to extract their contents into your library. Both work on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and the archive stays a normal file you can share on.

Downloaded ZIPs behave like any other file: they land in your library from the web browser in one tap, and can be opened, extracted or moved from there.
