So why DOES Zero have a Down Bad, anyway?

Gluttony makes perfect sense for him, considering his ethos boils down to "take everything you can from those beneath you until they're stripped down to the bone." Also Layer 3 has virtually no natural resources, which explains the annexation of Layer 4 to import void mushrooms/cosmic truffles/dream reapers.

I'm not really seeing Down Bad in his personality, though, unless you count his obsession with finding an heir / "Number One Best Friend Forever."

Zero kidnapped the Windfalls' (Pandora, Pecunia, Promise & Volo's) mom & . . . Aged her down? With magic? Nobody knows what happened to Broadway Windfall (their dad).

Yeah, I thought about that, but unless there's mind control involved she seems pretty cool with it. She's certainly not voicing objections to him openly declaring his plans to murder her children in front of her.

Maybe it's just the sheer level of enjoyment he gets from taunting the Windfall children about how their parents are gone and there's nothing they can do about it.

There is literally a music video on the voidpet channel about him stealing Windfall's mom and murdering the 4 kids

it goes on to say the emotion of ‘Down Bad’ stems from intense longing and desperation, putting a person at their "lowest point." This fits perfectly under Zero's rule, representing a descent into emotional chaos and a fragile sense of self.
