In Lucid, after selecting a bunch of files, when you right-clicked on the selection in the file manager, you could select compress and a nice simple window came up for doing just that.

In Oneiric, I cannot find that option. So somebody please tell me what I might be missing? Some of the things in Unity are really irritating.

I did have nautilus from the nautilus-elementary ppa installed instead of the normal version.

In default Nautilus right click compressen works as expected. – Takkat Oct 20 '11 at 7:35
Remove nautilus elementary. The default nautilus in 11.10 supports compression perfectly. – Capt.Nemo Oct 20 '11 at 7:41
I don't have nautilus elementary in Oneiric. I was just mentioning my case of Lucid. I see my mistake! On a file that looks like some sort of archive already, the compress option disappears. – Eshwar Oct 20 '11 at 8:51

I found it. It just doesn't show up if you select a file that's somehow an archive already i.e. self-extracting exe, some normal exe files, etc.
