The ULR on that page has the _ character instead of a - in the URL.

<https://doc.dovecot.org/plugin-settings/zlib-plugin/> loads and leads to

<https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/zlib_plugin/#zlib-plugin>

Which, sadly, does not have example code on actually compressing the existing mail, but does say to use maildirlock.
