Sounds like something physical is in there, did you get it wet in rain or 
what not?  

Try getting a can of compressed air and blowing it around the switches.  
If that works that should hold you for a while, otherwise you'll have to 
dissassemble the Zen and clean the contacts.

Alas in the worst case underneath the buttons, many digital switches are 
made of a plastic with conductive laminate.  As it ages the plastic 
cracks, so it no longer 'springs' back, and the contact is always closed.  
The electronics often use 'edge' detection to determine whether a switch 
is used, so its not an issue. However, the switch never goes back to its 
'off' position.

To fix the above which is trickier, you have to insert a small spacer of 
folded strip of plastic [ like from a straw or better] to act as a spring 
between the contact surfaces.  The 'spacer' must be of a non-conductive 
material.
