Using fifo (first in first out) you can redirect your database exports through a pipe straight to zip.
Make fifo pipe:
mkdir fifo db.fifo
Write the file output to gzip and send to background:
cat db.fifo | gzip > db.dmp.gz &
Run the export to the fifo pipe:
exp username/password file=db.fifo log=db.log etc
