I want a example of a set that it is uncountable and has measure zero and not compact? Cantor set has these properties except not compactness.

Recall the construction of the Cantor set. At each step we remove open intervals, now remove closed intervals.
The intersection is still non-empty, but the result is something homeomorphic to the irrational numbers, or more generally, Baire space.
This is not a compact set, since we can show that the points removed are in the closure of this new set, and thus it is not closed. However as a subset of the Cantor set it still has measure zero.
