ok, i did some low-level testing for you, hope it helps abit.

one zope-python-script:

 # script param-call in pyth-folder
 # ... some zope-init stuff ...
 # no parameters
 return context.pyth.param_test([0],[[1],[0]])

which calls this one:

 # script param-test in pyth-folder 
 # ... some zope-init stuff ...
 # parameters list and listlist
 l = []
 return str(same_type(l, list)) + str(same_type(l, listlist[0]))

result is 11, list and first element of listlist are both of type "list".

so python inside zope works like expected. your problem can ONLY be
in parameter-passing to your script. You maybe should leave the parameters as
strings and convert them to list by hand in your script or so.
