For my particular system in order to exclude a directory I had to put quotes around my excluded directories and it worked like a charm:

zip -r myarchive.zip target -x "target/exclude1/*" "target/exclude2/*"

Notes:

— this excluded both the directory to exclude and all files inside it.

— You must use the full path to the directories you want to include and exclude!

— As long as the excludes are at the end of the line you do not need the @ symbol
