It depends on whether they were color or grayscale, the composition of the picture, ie how much contrast. I would use jpeg to make smaller files. I didn’t know zipped files had a lossy setting. I guess it is getting more sophisticated. The best answer is to ask your printer what he thinks is the best compression level that makes the smallest file without sacrificing the quality of the final product.
