glmmPQL is in the MASS package, not the pscl package.
Because it uses a quasi-likelihood approach, it does not
provide an AIC value (which technically does not exist in this
case). It is in principle possible to get a "quasi-AIC",
but it is (a) delicate to define and (b) moderately challenging
to extract the information from glmmPQL.
