Make zip from command line

How do I make a simple zip file through 7z command line?

I am trying to replicate these settings:

I tried:

Code:

7z a -bt -bb3 -mx=7 -mm=deflate outfile infile

However this still makes a 7z archive as shown by this hex editor screenshot:

It should look like this:

You can use tar.exe from windows itself

Code:

tar.exe -cf Archive.zip <InputDir>

That does not create an archive as specified in the second hex edit screenshot.

Decoded text shows PK & 7z is it the identifier..

You must enter the zip format type on the command line.
I don't know if this resolves, take the test.

Code:

7z a -tzip -bt -bb3 -mx=7 -mm=deflate outfile infile

Why not use Info-ZIP instead? That's the open-source ZIP implementation.
