no , the z does not make a th sound , the closest sound would actually sound 
like a soft s sometimes , or sometimes very close to the z sound in english. 
Something I have noticed in my study of languages is that just like in english 
while sounds mostly carry one definite sound , it depends on the word on how 
you really pronounce it , and where the letter is placed.  Take Zoro  for 
example ... it sounds like Soro in spanish. I think the more english sounding z is 
much less common in spanish. Maybe the th sound you are thinking of comes from 
Spain. I know they have an accent that sounds almost like a lisp. There are 
also parts in mexico where they sort of lisp , but the ration of the people " 
lisping" is kind of like having a community of texans in england.
