Disabling the example checks is not the solution - well, it is the one 
to hide the errors, of course.

... and was the recommended way to build binaries as long as I am 
maintaining the Windows binaries on CRAN (which is more than 8 years, I 
think), if I remember correctly.

It works on it and tells you there is an error. Since the CRAN check 
summary pages do not show that error, I anticipate your unstated 
versions of zoo and/or other packages are outdated. Please update all 
your packages an dtry again.
