I would think that you would run into several problems with the 1541
as a disk drive.  I would think that the fact that the 1541 and RS232
are mutually exclusive (can't listen/talk to RS232 while drive is
being used) would be a problem with Z-Modem.  That's one reason that
Commodore protocols have always been a little limited.
