Windows compression is so called "transparent": no software will ever see that the file is actually compressed. (Except for low level software but let's not get into this.) Burn it onto CD/DVD and it will get there uncompressed. Even if you could put there compressed, Windows wouldn't care about it and you'd see it compressed and, therefore, unusable.

(Perhaps, there's a CD/DVD file system standard that supports transparently compressed file but those are definitely not ones made my M$. UDF, maybe; Higher versions, not supported by Windowses yet?)
