Other methods:(assuming you didn't already try the above)
(dijichi2) if you get stuck and really want to just purge it from the system, try:
rpm -e `rpm -qa |grep zimbra`
rm -rf /opt/zimbra
delete zimbra entries from /etc/sudoers
delete zimbra entries from root and zimbra crontabs
On Ubuntu servers dpkg may think that Zimbra is still installed. Check by running dpkg --list (-l) or dpkg -q zimbra* and see if zimbra items are still listed. You can remove them by running:
dpkg --remove zimbra-apache zimbra-ldap zimbra-mta zimbra-spell zimbra-core zimbra-logger zimbra-snmp zimbra-store or
sudo rm -r /opt/zimbra
