May be dark stools because of dehydration, inflammation and zincovit.

No zincovit dont cause dark colored stools. Your symptom maybe related to associated viral enterocolitis. Continue the same conservative management. If symptoms dont resolve in a week, I advise u to get a colonoscopy done.
Next Steps
Continue same medication and plenty of liquids .
