Drupal and Zend are very different.
I haven't used Drupal in years, but it tends to be pretty tricky to customise. If want you want is more or less out-of-the-box behaviour, then Drupal is great.
Also: stay clear of Smarty. It's pointless. PHP is already a templating system,. so using a templating system built with a template system is crazy. A decent MVC framework is all you need.
