Regarding AKL-EZE on NZ, NZ is known not to release seats to *A partners. As this route appears to be doing well, it's highly unlikely you'll find any availability.
On *A you don't really have much choice. I would do it like this: go on UA and search any combination of awards between (SYD, MEL, WLG, AKL) and (EZE, SCL, GIG, GRU, PTY). If you find a seat, any seat, go to the Aeroplan website and search the same flight. If it is available there as well, call M&M and feed them exactly what you find (i.e. "I want XX123 on XX/11/17", not "I want to fly from XXX to YYY"). They will book for you and quote the surcharge.
I see a seat from AKL to LAX on 15/11 and 16/11 with a connection to PTY. Beyond that, it's probably going to be easier to purchase a revenue ticket.
Good luck!
Uff, I didn't know it will be such a big problem. Unfortunatelly 15.11 or 16.11 is not an option because I am arriving to Australia on 18.11 and was have to stay there for a couple of days.
If I arrange the flights myself, do I still pay Australia-South America region-to-region or it is considered as two separate region-to-region hops ?
