I recently saw this with a package in F28.  This shouldn't happen, as
far as I know, because the later package is replacing the earlier
package and dnf should know that.  My take is that some change to the
package gives the later version a different signature, so that dnf
actually thinks they are different packages, but that is just a guess.
I resolved the issue by running, for your case,
dnf -x zsh -x zvbi -x zziplib upgrade
After that completed, I did
dnf remove zsh zvbi zziplib
dnf install zsh zvbi zziplib
In my case, the package was a leaf package, so this was trivial.  If
your packages have a lot of dependencies, all those will be taken out
by the remove, and will have to be installed along with zsh, zvbi, and
zziplib.  Some of them might not be available for the new version.
