Files for download on a jquery mobile app (PhoneGap)?

Files for download on a jquery mobile app (PhoneGap)?

I have multiple files I wish to offer through my app, and some of these have multiple files within them. Now, I don't know how a mobile browser reacts to .zip files, so my question is what is the best method/approach to archive files so that they can be downloaded through a mobile app? I've looked everywhere for any info pertaining to my question with no help. Anyone have any ideas? I've used Cordova to wrap my jquery mobile app.
