this should do, if I get your query right :)

find -type f -name '*.zip' -not -name '*.log' -printf '%h\n' | uniq |
whatever...

Consider the following case: I have 3 directories dir1, dir2 , dir3.

Contents of dir1:
dir1file1.zip
dir1file2.zip
dir1file3.zip

Contents of dir2:
dir2file1.zip
dir2file2.zip
dir2error.log

Contents of dir3:
dir3file1.zip

Now i want the output to be the contents of dir1 and dir3 in ascending order of timestamps. since dir2 contains the log file, it should not appear the output.
