I think it is a reference to him being tall and lanky.

I think he started by calling him Lurch because he was so tall and lanky but then it developed into Lurkio.

That was probably the other reason as Anthony was used as a scivvy.

\lurkio was Frankie Howerd's character name in Up Pompeii and his character was a slave, so I agree it was because he was always fetching and carrying for Jim.
