Hello -- I am somwhat confused on how -r- option works

am trying to zip up a single folder --- I don't want it to recurse ---
now in the folder there are regular files -- which I want to zip, I don't need to process any of the subdirectories in the (parent) directory -- but even with -r- specified 7z is decenting into the subdirs and adding those files to the archive --- is there a way NOT to process any subdirs in a given specified directory? thanks
