Easiest solution is to just use paste followed by either cut or awk, depending on the complexity of the selection process.
Your original problem doesn't require anything as clever as awk(assuming that the fields are delimited by a single space):
If you need to get fancier (cutcan't reorder), then paste before piping into awk(in the following code, replace the awk field numbers with the ones that you actually need):

zcmp
ZDIFF(1) General Commands Manual ZDIFF(1)NAME
zcmp, zdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
zdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
DESCRIPTION
Zcmp and zdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on files compressed via gzip. All options specified are passed directly to
cmp or diff. If only file1 is specified, it is compared to the uncompressed contents of file1.gz. If two files are specified, their con-
tents (uncompressed if necessary) are fed to cmp or diff. The input files are not modified. The exit status from cmp or diff is pre-
served.
SEE ALSO cmp(1), diff(1), zmore(1), zgrep(1), znew(1), zforce(1), gzip(1), gzexe(1)BUGS
Messages from the cmp or diff programs may refer to file names such as "-" instead of to the file names specified.
