Umm, PKZIP can do that. If that's what you really
want, then you can try running DOSBOX or DOSEMU.
Another possibility is zip + zipsplit.

Come to think of it, tar an other archive utilities can do it: you need
to specify the size of the "tape volume" and maybe use a script to do
stuff with the files it creates it.
It doesn't (or didn't when I looked years ago) hand compressed output
well as the size you provide relates to input sizes.
afio (not a standard component) is better as it can create compresses
archives sized on the output size.
