Curious,
there really does not seem to be a up/down-line (without history search) widget 
or functionality for multiline buffers that I could find.

While it should not be too hard to write one yourself
you might want to try the edit-command-line widget shipped with zsh.
might be more comfortable

i.e.:
autoload -U edit-command-line && zle -N edit-command-line && \
bindkey '\ee' edit-command-line

this way you can load and edit the current command line in your editor of choice 
by pressing ESC-e
