That's about a year old and nowhere near the latest release. This:
install.packages("zoo")
works for me from within "R version 2.11.1 Patched (2010-05-31 r52167)"
on Windows Vista and it works this way works too:
C:\tmp2>wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/zoo_1.6-4.tar.gz
--10:29:03-- http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/zoo_1.6-4.tar.gz
=> `zoo_1.6-4.tar.gz.1'
