Zeus did not kill Orion. The god that killed him was rather Apollo or Artemis. There are many myths on how Orion died. Here are most of them.Artemis' brother Apollo was angered by the friendship between Orion and Artemis. Apollo challenged Artemis to an archery competition. He told her to shoot a target from far away. Artemis had no idea that the target her brother mentioned was the head of Orion. Artemis' shot was perfect (like always) so Orion died.Apollo, who was jealous of the attention Artemis was giving to Orion, sent a scorpion to sting Orion in his heal. Gaea, Mother Earth, could of sent the scorpion instead of Apollo because she was upset that Orion was killing all of the wild beasts that lived on her.Orion tried to rape Artemis or one of her virgin followers. Being a virgin goddess, she killed him before he could.Orion was having affairs with the goddess of dawn, Eos. Jealous, Artemis killed him.
Some stories say Orion was a hunting companion of Artemis, and she admired his skill and loved him, others say that he was a great hunter and sought out Artemis and tried to rape her - and still others say that they were hunting companions and he boasted that there was not a beast on earth he could not kill, and Gaia took offense of this. In the end Orion dies, there are a few doubts to who killed him and why, however. Slain by Artemis in wrath, is the most commonly known. Orion slain by Gaia, turned into a constellation by Artemis. Orion slain through a trick of Apollon, turned into a constellation by Artemis.

Artemis was extremely saddened by the loss and cast Orion's spirit in the sky, making him a constellation for all to see.

Artemis.
There is no timeframe given for stories like these. However, he was bathing in the ocean when she fired the shot that killed him. Apollo was jealous of the attention she gave to Orion and wagered to her that she couldn't hit a speck floating in the far off sea. That speck was Orion's head.
