zpacman (for example) is included in the archive that comes with the PKGBUILD. It's a shell script, so there's nothing to build or retrieve, therefore it just installs it where it should.
However, you're right, that's not the way a PKGBUILD is supposed to work: it should retrieve the zpacman shell script from its source, not provide a mysterious copy.
