Found it, thanks!
I changed these two statements:
  zstat -s -H stat -F "%b %e %H:%M" - "$dir$f" >/dev/null 2>&1
  listfiles+=("$stat[mode] ${(l:3:)stat[nlink]} ${(r:8:)stat[uid]} ${(r:8:)stat[gid]} ${(l:8:)stat[size]} $stat[mtime] $f")

to

  zstat -s -H stat -F "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" - "$dir$f" >/dev/null 2>&1
  listfiles+=("$stat[mode] ${(r:8:)stat[uid]} ${(r:8:)stat[gid]} ${(l:10:)stat[size]} $stat[mtime] $f")

A lot better now!
Does zstat have an option to output the file size in "human readable" format, by any chance?
Like "ls -h".

Veryl cool!  I'd be happy with any of these options.

Thanks!
