I didn't test my solution but try to replace the single quote with \"

String command = "find /user/test -type f -exec zip \"{}\".zip \"{}\" \\:"

Why would that work if it work as is in terminal?

@OP
I would try with

String command[] = { "find" , "/home/user/test" , "-type", "f", "zip", "{}.zip", "{}", "\\;"}; //note that spaces and quotes are removed

But since you do not have any spaces in quotes it may be more readable if you use

String command[] = "find /home/user/test -type f zip {}.zip {} \\;".split(" "); //If you were to use spaces inside the quotes, you could change split's parameter, it is in regular expression.

Edit:
Clarification:
Each element in the string list is an argument given to the started program, just as putting it in quotes in the terminal (or escaping spaces).
Quotes in a string is Java is as \' (or \") in the terminal, they become escaped.
