I do not think that we should simply use a particular term just because
it is understood by users of a particular operating system:  as has
already been mentioned above, Windows and OSX use different
terminologies anyway.

I prefer the idea of using our own expressive terminology, ideally
something that a complete novice to computer systems in general might
grasp intuitively.  As such I would suggest using the terms "group" (or
"bunch"?) and "compress" (or "squish"?) in a context-sensitive manner.
For example, right clicking on a single file could offer the option to
"Compress this file...", whilst right clicking on a selection of
multiple files would offer something along the lines of "Group and/or
compress these files..." (or "Bunch and squish these files..."?).

"Archive Manager" doesn't mean anything if you don't know what an "archive" is
