There are a couple of ways I can think of.

Instead of patching zopectl.py, change 
$SOFTWARE_HOME/Zope/Startup/run.py. The program zopectl.py spawns a new 
python process called run.py, and the interpreter's 
sys.setcheckinterval is not passed across processes.

Another option would be to add the patch that went into 2.7.5. The same 
patch should work for any 2.7.x release so far.  
<http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1661>

Another  is to create a simple Zope Product that has 
sys.setcheckinterval(1000) within its initialization method. (See  
<http://www.zope.org/Members/gtk/Boring/HowTo-Boring> for the basics of 
creating a zope product.)

Another would be to create a small external method and then execute 
that method with something like wget.

Another would be to upgrade to 2.7.5, which was just released in its 
final form today.
