Gradle task to create a zip archive of a directory

I figured out a way for this:
Its working for me now.

task myZip(type: Zip) {
   from 'Reports/'
   include '*'
   include '*/*' //to include contents of a folder present inside Reports directory
   archiveName 'Reports.zip'
   destinationDir(file('/dir1/dir2/dir3/'))
}
