ZK likes to compare themselves to ICEfaces, but when it comes to Ajax Push-Comet, they simply do not measure up.  I recently did an assessment of ZK's Ajax Push capabilities compared to ICEfaces.  You can read about it here.

If you're looking for a push server you may be interested in StreamHub Comet Server. We use it with ZK as the implementation of comet built-in to ZK doesn't scale to our needs.
