I'm not sure, a similar test here works as expected:

<step action='ZIP Files' type='0'>
<Action type='3'>2</Action>
<Compression>5</Compression>
<Delete type='11'>-1</Delete>
<Dest>%TEMP%\test.zip</Dest>
<ExclExt>User Actions\*.*</ExclExt>
<Hidden type='11'>-1</Hidden>
<LogDetail type='11'>-1</LogDetail>
<Recurse type='11'>-1</Recurse>
<Source>%VISBUILDDIR%\Samples</Source>
<indent type='3'>1</indent>
<name>zip</name>
</step>

You can copy and paste the text above into VisBuildPro. On my box, it excludes the files in the Samples\User Actions folder but includes all the other ones; if the exclude field is cleared, the files in that folder are included in the ZIP file.

The 'append to existing file' option does basically what it says, modifying the existing ZIP file rather than creating a temporary file and replacing the original with it when performing an update. It might be beneficial when working with really large ZIP files or when disk space is low.
