JZ,

First create the directory structure you need for the module:
mkdir mods.d
mkdir -p modules/texts/ztexts/kjv

Then make the module, directing the output to the directory you created.
osis2mod modules/texts/ztexts/kjv kjv.xml -z

And copy the conf to mods.d
cp kjv.conf mods.d

Now zip up the directories, using -r to specify recursion

zip -r kjv.zip mods.d modules
