Yes, you can specify a KMZ file the exact same way you would specify a KML file you can even set both at the same time notice how nothing changes except for the variable name and file extension:

var kmz_Layer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('http://www.kmzlinks.com/redirect.asp?id=110&file=PalmIsland%2Ekmz');
var kml_Layer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('http://www.kmzlinks.com/redirect.asp?id=110&file=PalmIsland%2Ekml');
kml_Layer.setMap(map);
kmz_Layer.setMap(map);
