Andrey,

  $ gdal_translate -co "COMPRESS=ZIP" -co "PREDICTOR=2" -co "TILED=YES" -co "BLOCKXSIZE=256" -co "INTERLEAVE=BAND" IMG_2948.Flowers1.tif IMG_2948.Flowers1-zip2-tiled-sep.tif

As I don't speak gdalese, what size do tiles have in your test? It's my opinion ideally efficient tiles over a broad range of compression modes, that fit workflow on today's machines best, are in the order of about 1 to 3 megabyte, not the legacy 8 kilobyte (uncompressed, of course). I believe that for some compression modes, tile size does have a considerable impact on efficienty.

Best regards,
