According to the manual, gzip archives the files given as arguments and, when
one of the arguments is a subdirectory, the files in that subdirectory. So,
it does not seem possible to gzip the files recursively. You'll have to create
a list of files first, e.g. with find from the findutils, and then give these
as arguments to gzip. For example:

find.exe tree -name "*.txt" -exec gzip.exe -kvr "{}" ";"
