I just installed a Linksys EA2700 N600 wireless router with gigabit ethernet ports. I connected one of the ports to a Zyxel 200 Mbps powerline networking adapter.

My tests show that I am getting 100Mbps at the other end of the powerline adapater. My expectation was that I would get the full rated 200Mbps given that the 1,000 Mpbs would be stepped down, but I guess the only way to get gigabit performance is with gigabit ethernet adapters at all points? So the next question is, when would I ever be able to get the full 200Mbps from the Zyxel powerline adapter?
 
Never. Those powerline adapters have 100 Mbit ethernet ports, so you'll never get more than that. The total bandwidth might be greater than 100 Mbit on a simultaneous bidirectional test.
