I am no ZZ plant expert so have no advices to say about the issue but I’m pretty sure it’s spelled Zamiifolia and not Zamofilia. Full scientific name is Zamioculcas Zamiifolia. Anyways, good luck with your plant hope you find a solution soon.

my two cents is overwatering
we in a dry climate with a lot more sun exposure than you got, and still water it just once or twice a month, so go figure how overwatered yours might be
hope someone more knowledgeable helps you 🙏

You may want to check the roots. If there’s root rot, you may need to separate the stalks, clean off the rots, root them in water, then use a well-draining soil like those of cactus (mix of perlite?).
Mine was yellowing and leaves drooping, I did as I described and transferred to the well-draining soil. It’s not the regular garden soil that holds too much water.

Switch to a terracotta pot with the roots fairly snug. Use cactus mx with extra pumice added, or mix pumice and coco chips in the current soil.
Watering thoroughly but very infrequently. The pot should feel light.
Give it very bright indirect light but acclimate it if it has been in low light.

Less than 1/2 cup of water per month. Never fertilize… literally never. Ceramic pot if it has full drainage ( I.e holes in the bottom) that doesn’t leave the soil sitting in water in a tray.
Zamioculcas zamiifolia, native to east Africa, live in extremely dry areas, of very poor soil. One of the reasons they’re so popular is they thrive on neglect.
