Question : Renaming file to previous date

Using this command in a DOS shell, %date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%, will rename a file to the current date. Now I need to rename this file to the previous date. i.e. A zip file created on 20080915 needs to be named 20080914. Can I utlizile the above command with any type of switches to rename the file to the previous day rather than the current day? Of if there's an entirely different command to do this.
