Hello Sylvie, I never used odt-export before and I can reproduce your problem. I'm using MS Windows and Emacs 24.1.50 with orgmode 7.8.10.
It looks like, that org-export expects a Windows command line tool called 'zip'. I downloaded the Gzip binary from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm. I opened the zip-file with a graphical unzip-program (like Winzip or 7zip or Totalcommander or so).
Then I put only gzip.exe into Windows/system32 directory and renamed it to zip.exe
After that M-x org-export-as-odt does not display the zip-Error any more, but stops with 'Unable to create odt file (1)' in my case.
So I do not know whether this zip-workaround does not work or if there are additional requirements to satisfy.

Sylvie is using Windows and she tries to export to ODT (for further conversion to PDF). Apparently, the executable "Zip operator" is needed.
