How long does an untouchable take to reach nirvana during successive reincarnations?
Caste is a Hindu concept, not a Buddhist one. The fact that a person is considered untouchable according to Hinduism has no effect on how long it will take him/her to attain nibbana(nirvana) according to Buddhism.
How long does it take a Zen Buddhist to reach Nirvana?
It takes as long as it takes. The course to enlightenment can takes many thousands of lifetimes. However the person who is presently a Zen Buddhist may have been through these reincarnations already and learned from them and may be ready to become enlightened. This does not however mean he is going to Nirvana as the enlightened may opt to return to the cycle o death and rebirth to enlighten others.

What are the steps to nirvana in Buddhism?
Siddhartha's mom, Queen Maya, had a dream (sorry, I don't know what the dream was about) while she was pregnant with Siddhartha. She thought she should know what the dream meant, so she asked the holy men. They told her it meant that her if Siddhartha stayed in the royal life, he would be the ruler of the universe, but if he left the royal life, he would become the Buddha. Siddhartha's father, of course, wanted Siddhartha to become the ruler of the universe, so he provided the best of everything for his son. Then when Siddhartha was sixteen he got married. Then when he was twenty-nine he had a son. Siddhartha's father finally decided that Siddhartha could leave the palace walls since he had a son and a wife to keep him home. Siddhartha took three trips outside of the palace, and he saw suffering for the first time. The first trip he saw an old man. The second trip he saw a sick man. On the third trip he saw a dead man. And on the fourth trip he saw an ascetic. An ascetic is an extremely peaceful person. Siddhartha saw the ascetic and was so impressed by how peaceful he was despite the suffering around him, that he decided to become an ascetic too. Siddhartha then took the life of an ascetic. He gave up all his fancy things, shaved his head and meditated a lot. But Siddhartha did not feel like this was the way to reach Enlightenment, and then Nirvana. So he gave up the life of an ascetic, and decided to take the middle path, which is a cross between wealthy and poor like an ascetic. (Kind of like the middle class today.) Siddhartha then went to meditate under the Bodhi tree for forty days. There he discovered the four noble truths, the eightfold path, and nirvana and enlightenment. That's how he became the Buddha.
