Zorzi's first major success was at the 2000 Cross-Country Skiing World Cup, where he finished in second place. At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, he won a silver medal in the 4 × 10 km relay and a bronze in the individual sprint.

At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, he was the anchor on the Italian 4 × 10 km relay team that won the gold medal in those games.

Zorzi won two medals at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships; a gold medal in the team sprint in 2007 and a silver in the individual sprint in 2001. He has also finished second in the 2000–01 Sprint World Cup, which he followed up with a third place in the following 2001–02 season.
