Broken: PS script to recursively zips files into one zip file

Question

Hi
I'd like a script which zips all files and subfolders older than a specified date.
I've have spent a fair bit of time hacking with no luck.
I'd greatly appreciate any help.

PS. This script seems to do the trick -
 $folder = "C:\temp2\" 
 $zipFileName = "C:\temp\test3.zip" 
 $zip_date = Get-Date "6/5/2014"
 set-content $zipFileName ("PK" + [char]5 + [char]6 + ("$([char]0)" * 18)) 
 $ZipFile = (new-object -com shell.application).NameSpace($zipFileName) 
 Get-ChildItem $folder | foreach {$zipFile.CopyHere($_.fullname)} 
However, when I enter where clause  only the top folder is zipped?
Get-ChildItem $folder| Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -lt $zip_date }  | foreach {$zipFile.CopyHere($_.fullname)}

Ps. I'm using script from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5641162/compress-files-in-folder-to-zip-file-by-using-ps
