It might be relevent that the web application is hosted on a Windows Machine. I asked myself, would setting the parameter "memory_limit" of the php.ini file to a higher value help? Actually it is set to 128M. But I actually don't have problems with creating a zip archive of about 250M (~80 folders), it actually occurs with 3 times bigger archives.
