Both winzip and 7z have command line capabilities. I'd suggest if you don't have one already installed, download 7z (cause it's free). Then you just need to know how to copy the right xml files across, before finally zipping it all up.

rem to get the date in yyyyMMdd format
for /f %%a in ('wmic os get LocalDateTime ^| findstr [0-9]') do set dt=%%a
set dt=%dt:~0,8%
%backupcmd% \\Traning\Biz\%dt%*.xml "%drive%\XML"

"%ProgramFiles%\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip -pSomePassword "%zipFileName%" "%drive%\*.*"

Omit the -tzip to get a native 7z archive instead of winzip.

Have a look at examples for 7z here: http://www.dotnetperls.com/7-zip-examples
