Don't know about models and skins (well I know that it's possible to make them smaller but don't know how),but here is the link for the program to make maps smaller,it also optimizes maps:

P.S: when I enabled function "Compress names", optimized map didn't work,so if you enable it and your optimized map won't work,disabling this function may fix the problem.

Well,it won't take too much space if there are no leaks int he trigger=)
There are many tutorials about leaks to find out if there are leaks in your map or not.
Most of space - imported models, skins, and large triggers.Variables themselves don't take much space=)

You can make with many ways.

1. Remove as much possible unused and editor only data
2. Optimize icons and skins with http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/warcraft-iii-viewer-62878/
3. Use http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=79326.
4. Remove unused triggers/variables
5. Reset to default all unneeded modified fields (Like icon and tooltip for dummy unit with locust)
6. Loading Screen - You can make loading screen use ingame texture. Loading Screen's size would be 20kb max. Kitabatake made two aniamted loading screens. You can download them here.
7. Pathing Blockers - you can make "larger" pathing blockers, so you won't have to place many of them.
