One of the accusations leveled against Socrates in his trial is that he was an atheist because he did not accept the gods of the state. Socrates directly addresses this charge in his apology, since it was the most serious and the one that can lead to a death sentence.

Socrates argues that he in fact does accept the existence of the Gods, Zeus included. However he rejected the stories that the State propagated about the Gods.

So arguably he worshipped Zeus or else he the state would have sentenced him to death. On the other hand, you can say that he worshipped Zeus to his own personal limits.
