pkzip and stuffit don't seem to be scriptable - or are they?

If you are referring to DropStuff or StuffIt Deluxe, they are both scriptable (at least in version 7 for OS X).

If you have a similar drag and drop app that isn't scriptable (I'm not familiar with pkzip), it might still be possible, but in a limited way.

tell application "Finder" to open alias pathToFile using alias "pathToPKzip.app"

It's basically the AppleScript way to simulate what would happen if you dropped the files onto a drag and drop application.
