Zeus measured the "death days" of both Achilles and Hector. Since the Fates decreed that Hector's death is sooner, Zeus listened to Athena to not let Hector live further. Even if Zeus helped Hector this time, it was prophesied that Hector would die soon anyways. Also, since there is a prophesy that Achilles will die soon after Hector, Hector had to die first.
