It depends on the testing, the animal, the protocol and the zoo. Some tests do hurt the animal (like drawing blood once a week to determine a baseline biochemical profile) but other tests do not (such as presenting a memory test with a food reward to an elephant). Overall, zoos are committed to improving the welfare and health of the animals in their care and zoos are a major source of contributions to information and conservation efforts in the wild.
There is animal testing that inevitably results in pain to the animal; this is minimized and eliminated where possible.
