Closes, as a fly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zips

'closes as a fly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for zips that I've seen before include "speeds" , "Dispatches" , "Locking devices with toothed edges" , "Slide fasteners" , "Shutters" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
