Things like that drive me nuts - even if reference sites like MobyGames list the Apple II as a release platform for a particular game, you can't rely on that unless they also have screenshots or box art scans (especially if the game arrived late in the II's life).Being from 1988, Zak certainly would be a late game. Even the Apple Maniac Mansion seems to be the least-known version.My guess is that they were planning to release Zak for the Apple II, but then cancelled it (the Apple MM may have sold poorly).
I'd be guessing that too. I'm sure Lucas Arts put a full page advert in A+ or InCider back in 1988 for the Apple II version, but as you say, it never got released.
