How do I troubleshoot this?
I am trying to compress a folder under ~/Documents that has files and subfolders of files within.
After beginning the compression, macOS 10.15.5 displays the subject error text.
Thoughts? Thanks!
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
Apple Support helped immensely. We determined it was because a sub-sub folder had files that were "locked". When I selected "Get Info" for each file and unchecked the "locked" file attribute for all of them, the problem went away; I was then able to compress the containing (parent) folder. Clear as mud?
Apple Support rocks.

This strikes me as a Permissions problem: If you can’t compress a file or folder on Mac.
"The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted"
