All compression formats supported by zutils support concatenation of 
files, so something like the following should work (as long as you do 
not mix formats):

  cat file_1.gz file_2.gz > file_1+2.gz

I think it is not possible to concatenate the contents of both files to 
a single-member file without recompressing.
