I think if there were debris in the lines downstream from the zone3
valve, at least some of the heads would get some water and work.
My guess would be that some debris got into the supply line (manifold)
upstream of the zone3 valve and is blocking flow to the valve and
everything downstream in that zone. Perhaps when the zone1 valve
cracked, a piece got into the line (or something got in while you were
replacing the zone1 valve) and lodged against the zone3 valve. Try
removing the zone3 valve and flushing the manifold; inspect the zone3
valve also to see if something lodged in there.
