Anything that inflicts pain and suffering besides just plain damage is good.
Touch of Bloodletting was explicity made by them. Curses and other debuffs are also obviously relevant.
In order to share in suffering (& aid interrogation) Detect or Seek Thoughts may be relevant. Various inquisitor spells might be worth including, especially Instrument of Agony.

Inflict pain, howling agony, and yes, sadomasochism - WYSIWYG.
I could also see His Inquisitors making liberal use of brand.
Despite its benign function, covetous aura is also a good choice for the God of Envy - vampiric touch, siphon magic, spellsteal, and spell absorption/greater spell absorption all for the same reason. Other good "Envy" spells are psychic leech, stage fright, aura of cannibalism, ki leech, toxic gift, curse of magic negation, vicarious view, control summoned creature, malicious spite, hollow heroism, hostile juxtaposition/greater hostile juxtaposition, and rune of ruin.
As the god of torture, interrogation/greater interrogation and agonize are likewise right up His alley.
Enervation and energy drain are appropriate for the God of Loss. Dispel magic/greater dispel magic/mage's disjunction can cover Loss *and* Envy!
Darkness and shadow spells are also nearly all suitable, since that's the most expansive, least Evil, section of His portfolio - but particularly suited to Him are umbral weapon, shadow barbs, and hungry darkness.
Vampiric shadow shield covers Darkness AND Loss AND Pain AND Envy, so right there you've got a virtual 'must!'
For the melee cleric, Sadomasochism was made for a Kuthite.

Shield other seems like a decent choice for a Kuthite who wants to assist an ally by sharing their pain, rather than using traditional healing to cure it, since their tenets embrace pain, rather than shunning it. Using rings of friendship as midwife's tools, one on the mother-to-be, and one on the father-to-be (so that he shares his wife's birthing pains) might also be a tradition among Kuthites.
Similarly, shared suffering and shared sacrifice.
"Tentacle rape until they go insane" should be a prepared spell for any self-respecting Kuthonite.
I can also see Boneshatter being a good one.

Beguiling Gift has possibilities, depending on what you hand the subject to don... 'here, hold this gimp mask...' :o
Skinsend 'cos... well, it comes from the same Clive Barker school of fantasy fiction as ol' Zon himself.
Unnatural Lust and spiky objects...
Agonize and Leashed Shackles 'cos... well, duh.
... and, let's be honest, probably a lot of healing spells, 'cos you don't want 'em dying on you halfway through...
