Something like:
zip -0Xq book.epub mimetype
zip -Xr9D book.epub *

Be careful with that. If you take the above commands literally, you are creating the epub in the same directory as "mimetype" (which directory is part of the epub itself), and you are zipping the epub into itself in the second line. try instead: (Unix syntax shown)
zip -0Xq ../book.epub mimetype
zip -Xr9D ../book.epub *
which will create the epub in the directory above that of the unzipped epub.
I know that's what you meant, I'm just commenting for the newbies here who might not catch it.
