You need to zip the files in a specific way. Give ePubPack a try — very simple, and does exactly what you need.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/epubpack/

Btw, to do it by hand, here's what you need to do:

Create an empty .zip file with whatever name you like (See notes below for detailed instructions on how to do this.)
Copy the mimetype file into the zip file (don't use compression on this file)
Copy the rest of the files and folders mentioned above into the zip file *
Re-name the .zip extension to .epub

* The specification recommends that the books files go in an "OEBPS" folder inside the zip file. If you put them in another spot, be sure that container.xml in the META-INF folder points to the correct location of the *.opf file.
