PNG uses deflate (same as zip) but GIF uses LZW. These are different algorithms. You should expect different compression results i would assume.

ZIP is theoretically a generic container and theoretically supports a number of different compression formats. Stored (no compression) and deflate are the only ones you can count on being supported everywhere though so in practice you're not wrong.
