Sort of.  With screen, you set the zmodem setting to "catch", and when you run
"sz" or "rz" on the remote machine, screen will pick it up, and prompt you to
run "rz" or "sz" on the local machine.  Annoyingly, when you send on the local
machine, you have to type the path (so it means you have to remember the full
filename, there is no selector).  But it works.  Sometimes you need to add the
'-e' option to escape control sequences.

SCP is better, but when you are already logged on, then it saves you opening up
another terminal.
