tar -czf $logName.tgz $logName && rm -f $logName;

Thanks everyone!!! you rock.  Here was the solution:

# if no virii were detected, deltet infected log file.
if [ $infectionsDetected -eq 0 ]
then
   rm -f $logPath/$infectedLogName;
fi

# tar and gzip the scan logfile and remove the uncompressed log
cd $logPath
tar -czf $logName.tgz $logName;
rm -f $logName;
