no it is not, zinc bicarbonate (if it exists which i'm almost certain it must) is an ionic compound. Technically a substance needs to be an element to be a metal ("metals" like bronze or steal are actually not pure substances but rather alloys of two or more different metals). Zinc Bicarbonate or Zn(HCO3)2 would probably have a similar physical qualities as any other bicarbonate compound: white ish, chalky, soluble in water, etc. So in short, Zinc by itself is a metal, but Zinc Bicarbonate is not a metal, hope i helped.
