This does not look quite right to me. Try:

zip -rSTvn zip k:\backups\zipc c:\ >k:\backups\c.log

You don't want to rename files during the backup and that's what the -E
will do.

File dates are inconclusive. Use zip -v the check the version and date:

That's the -L switch.

Do:

set TZ

from the command line. You might need to add:

set TZ=EST5EDT

to config.sys or issue it from the command line.

InfoZip is not stupid. :-)

Drop the -E.

You do have a few duplicate template objects to clean up, but that's a
different problem.
