I would move the 'if' test outside the loop :

for zipfile in filelist:
    zfiter = iter(gzip.Gzipfile(zipfile,'r'))
    zfiter.next()  # ignore header line
    for i, line in enumerate(fziter):
        outfile.write(line)

I'm not sure if the iter(...) is required.  This will raise a
StopIteration exception if zipfile is empty.
