With the SDK update to 20, version 20 of the build and platform tools and 23 of the sdk tolls, Google has moved a lot of things.

Gradle (if you are using Android Studio) however has not yet been updated to reflect those changes, as stated in other Answers copying the zipalign binary to /sdk/tools/ should do the trick for now.

UPDATE: since Android Studio 0.8.1 got released the issue seems fixed now…
you only need to update your build.gradle and it should work fine again

compileSdkVersion 20

buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

targetSdkVersion 20

and if you use any compat or support library

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:20.+'

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.+'
