 It can't be said clearly enough - Zimbra installer is picky abut everything related to name resollution. 

* Don't have a non-default /etc/hosts file.  If it is more than 4 lines, the zimbra installer will be unhappy.

* Have your MX setup well in advance. It is smart to have 2+ MX records if you going to migrate.  The production system and the system to be installed with Zimbra as a lower-priority MX.

After the installation (or upgrade), you can re-add all the /etc/hosts entries you might want.
