Let's see.
Zod is
1. much faster (clear advantage here)
2. Stronger (so Zod will dominate in a grappling fight)
3. Have better mobility and maneuverability
4. Doesn't hold back like Clark, will have no problems sending hv through Thor at the right opportune moment. Or breaking Thor's face worst than he did when he broke Clark's jaw.
5. Has a magical vulnerability so that magical attacks effect him more than necessary.
Thor is
1. more versatile (both an advantage and weakness). It's a weakness because too many powers give more delay of deciding what to use. Thor has a few powers he uses instinctively (which makes him not so versatile at times), other powers needs thinking first. The advantage is of course having more options to attack or defend.
2. Has a character that makes him both worthy but more beatable than necessary. He is a warrior first and typically uses Mjolnir as a club, throws the hammer often, uses lightning slightly less often, uses blasts less often also, then most rarely uses exotic attacks.
3. He defends against energy blasts very efficiently (from 30ft away or more though). He does get tagged with energy blasts sometimes (rarely) but he's still very efficient dealing with them.
4. Holds back a little unless seriously provoked or angered.
Due to these considerations I vote for Zod.
Zod will not hold back and has speed on his side. His punches would be far more devastating on Thor with a much higher chance of connecting than Thor connecting on him. Zod's speed would be hard to counter and his HV (if it connects) could prove lethal or crippling.
Bottomline: Zod usually doesn't mess around and that makes him more dangerous than Clark. Clark may be able to use his powers (especially speed) more efficiently at times but usually holds back (doesn't use lethal type force).

what about the durability of his suit?
Russian zod is the one in the picture so the one in this fight, he depends on his suit and the red sun radiation/light inside to generate his powers and any damage/rip and what have you to the suit would compromise his powers.
True didn't think of which Zod was fighting.
Clark couldn't really damage his suit. But it's probably a factor yes.
Speed coupled with non holding back tips the scales to me though.
