I don't know for definate but I believe the actor value MeleeDamage is like a "base-line value" for your character. In other words for Player it's probably always meant to be 0, then whatever damage your weapon has is added along with perks/enchantments etc.

What makes me think this is reading about UnarmedDamage here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Combat#Unarmed_Combat

I dont believe you can get the stat value of an item directly - but you could return the damage on an actor that was hit with it.

How exactly?

I imagine it would require having a script on the actor, then checking the actor's health at relatively short intervals, and then comparing the value to the actor's health in an OnHit event.

Sounds as if it you would have to make a decision between accuracy and processing power there. The faster you check at short intervals, the more intensive the script would be, yet slower intervals would leave much more room for error.

Then there is the complex task of dynamically applying this script to actors that the player is near.

There is a thread somewhere on this forum about dynamically attaching scripts to actors by using quest aliases.

Recently, I've been messing around with spells though, and I remember something that we did in Oblivion. Before OBSE came along, people attached scripts dynamically by having the player cast an AOE spell on himself.
