The club's former under-23 coach took over this week from Mirko Slomka, who paid the price for a poor start to the season that saw Hamburg rooted to the foot of the table with just one point.
However, Zinnbauer doubled that tally in his first game at the helm and will surely have been pleased with what he saw from his new charges, who proved more than a match for the champions.
Nicolai Muller came close for the hosts shortly after half-time, beating an onrushing Manuel Neuer to a high ball before guiding his shot just wide of the post, while Philipp Lahm spurned Bayern's best chance shortly afterwards.
The visitors, who recorded an impressive 1-0 UEFA Champions League over Manchester City in midweek, struggled to assert any form of dominance for much of the game, despite enjoying the vast majority of possession against a resolute Hamburg side.
Zinnbauer was quick to make his mark after being appointed as he stated that he would not be afraid to drop any players judged not to be pulling their weight, but he had little cause to complain on Saturday.
