When I compress items for a zip file, the file that's created does not have a zipper, and will not open on my mac. When I send in an email. the file opens but contains 0 items. Is there a fix?

There are certainly more than one way of zipping files/folders

If you are using the right click contextual menu, but fails—refere to this kb

macOS Sierra: If you can’t compress an item

Have you tried using control - click/Compress?

Follow Eric's advice to compress a file or files from the secondary menu. Double-click the resulting zip file to unzip it. You can also put files in a folder, and zip that folder.
