Create you own actions
http://drupal.org/node/172152
in this action you have the full node object accessible, per selected item. Now you need to find a way to store those infos (i.e. in a Session) and then redirect the user to a download url, you can zip the files from the session and create a file header for immediate download without another click.
look at php header function
look at php header function http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
you need something like this, of course zip instead of pdf
<?php
// We'll be outputting a PDF
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"');
// The PDF source is in original.pdf
readfile('original.pdf');
?>
also need php zip support http://php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php

It is already on the latest stable of VBO , just create a file view type, there is a "Download archive of selected files" option on VBO
Apparantly not yet on Drupal 7

I can't see "Download archive
I can't see "Download archive of selected files" as an option. I've already added a file field to my view. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
