They are the same meaning! "To zip up" is a phrasal verb. That means the verb "zip" and the preposition "up" combine to form a certain meaning.
With phrasal verbs, you can sometimes put the object in multiple locations. In this case, both "zip (something) up" and "zip up (something)" are okay!
Phrasal verbs are difficult because you have to memorize them all (^_^;)

I don't think there's any difference between them. I can't think of any.
