Do you want to store the zip-file as-is, or unzipped? What do you have so far, where are you stuck? — Hans Keﬆing, Jun 12 '13 at 05:50

To save the file, you will have to use the Request.Files collection.

foreach (string file in Request.Files)
{
    HttpPostedFile zipFile = Request.Files[file] as HttpPostedFile;
    if (zipFile.ContentLength > 0)
       zipFile.SaveAs("YOUR_PATH/" + file);
}

If you need to extract the contents of the zip file, you can use a library like dotNetZip
