It is very difficult to ascertain the effect of any intervention when multiple factors are involved. All good studies have to control what interventions are used to single out any effect by one specific agent. Using two agents is bad enough. 3 agents...really gonna confuse the situation. Have you spoken to anyone who could set up a study such as you envision? Have you written a proposal to anyone...maybe zinc sulfate tablet manufacturers might pony up the cash. Go for it.

If it were up to ignoreable me, I would suggest that the NIH actually TALK to the doctors everywhere ( I can name at least 5 ) who have successfully treated Covid-19 and ask them WHAT they did to be so successful.
Put them together in a socially distanced room and come up with a formal way of reproducing their results and design a clinical trial accordingly.
Then, try to REPLICATE their protocol FORMALLY on clinical trials -— patient profile, dosage, etc.
These are doctors at the forefront in the battle against the disease, why ignore them and reinvent the wheel?
