The FME version is 2019.2
Question
I have the problem that my zip file gets overwritten when a new file is should be added to the zip file, resulting in that all existing files in the zip file are lost. I'm using a fanout for the file to be written into a specific zip file.

That's default behaviour and I don't think it can be changed. Best thing to do is write to a temporary location and then use a SystemCaller to call a zip command line. I know 7Zip is capable of adding to existing zip files.
Here's one I used a while ago to bulk-add a lot of files to a lot of existing zipfiles.

As an alternative, you can use the ZipArchiver transformer from the hub.
This is what I use, and prefer over the SystemCaller.

Hmm, that's funny, because a zip file has been treated as a folder previously in FME (I think)! Thank you for the reply!
