When I use zip, how can I display the overall progress without flooding the command line?

A fixed-length progress bar, a file or byte count, or better yet a timer showing the estimated time remaining would be ideal.

zip's standard behavior seems to be to print a line for every file processed, but I don't want that information overload when I zip thousands of files. I want a guesstimate how long it's going to take.

I tried the -q (--quiet) option in combination with -dg (--display-globaldots) but that just floods stdout with multiple lines of dots and gives no useful indication.

I also tried -qdgds 10m as mentioned in the man page, but got the same result.

I then tried -db (--display-bytes) and -dc (--display-counts) but there doesn't seem to be a global option, so it again prints it for every filename.

Lastly, I tried it together with -q like -qdbdc, but that just outputs nothing.

Funnily enough, I found a man page on the info-zip site that mentions a -de (--display-est-to-go) option which should "Display an estimate of the time to finish the archiving operation."

That sounds exactly like what I want, but the problem is that my version of zip does not have that feature. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.1 and zip 3.00. According to Wikipedia, this is the latest stable release.

There are unreleased beta versions on the info-zip sourceforge page, but I'd rather not entrust my data to a beta release.
