Readjusted to show zip (OED) (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zeroed

'readjusted to show zip' is the definition.
(adjusted something to read zero or 'zip')

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Another definition for zeroed that I've seen is " Adjusted instrument to show OOOs".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
