A couple of mistakes:
1) The name of page template product is 'PageTemplates', not
'ZopePageTemplate'
2) A name of ZPT constructor is 'manage_addPageTemplate'

So it should be somthing like:

container.manage_addProduct['PageTemplates'].manage_addPageTemplate
('memberIndex.pt')

Note, that it will create a page template with default content.
For other constructor parameters (title, text) peek into the file
$ZOPE_ROOT/lib/python/Products/PageTemplates/ZopePageTemplate.py

(IMHO, looking into the source code gives much more info than reading a
bunch of manuals,
at least if Zope is concerned :)
