This will be in the FAQ soon.
Compression is largely orthogonal to the file type, as HTTP supports
labelling things as compressed and instructing the HTTP user agent to
decompress it before handing it off to be rendered.
Please see http://vrml.wired.com/arch/2009.html for more info. The
essence is there's no need to define a new file type or anything for
compression, just do it and make sure the server it sits on is correctly
labelling it.

Gnu-zip does this quite well.
