Zachary attended Chaddock College in Quincy, Illinois and in the latter 1860s the Medical College in Keokuk, Iowa. He finished his medical studies at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Chicago, graduating in 1871. He was a member of the American Medical Society and the International Associations of Railway Surgeons. He began practicing medicine in Schuyler County, Illinois and remained there until 1883, when he moved to Baylis, Illinois. In 1884 he moved to Junction City, Kansas and, one year later, to Council Grove, Kansas where he resided until his death. In 1896 he was elected to the state legislature as a Populist, where he served "with that diligence and integrity so characteristic of him (from "A History of the John Howell Family")". He was elected to the Kansas Senate in 1898. From "The Story of Council Grove, Kansas on the Sante Fe Trail" by Lalla Maloy Brigham, 1921: "...Dr. Z.T. Harvey...practiced here during the last thirty years of the 19th Century. Since 1900, Dr. Lewis Harvey and Dr. Leland Harvey, sons of Z.T. Harvey, have been our leading physicians."
