I've found a sentence where evil and suffering are taken not as a unit.

"....Thus all evil and human suffering are traced to that one moment in time".
Utah Local News - Salt Lake City News, Sports, Archive - The Salt Lake Tribune

So we conclude that it depends on the context. If we were to use it as a single unit, we would use singular verb and vice versa.
