London turned out to be a tough week for Zach, who tested positive for coronavirus following his one-on-one date with Gabi.
Zach therefore had to cancel the group date and a solo date with Charity.
He also ended up hosting the franchise's first-ever virtual cocktail party and virtual Rose Ceremony.
Zach, however, recovered from coronavirus and continued his quest to find the love of his life.

Based on a preview of what's to come on The Bachelor this season, Zach will enjoy a horseback riding one-on-one date, a horse-drawn carriage ride with Charity, and a nudist-sauna experience with Ariel.
"I can say I am falling for you," Charity tells Zach on her long-anticipated solo date. "You have this special way of making me feel really seen and chosen. I feel like I'm the only girl in this world right now."
And Zach begins to fall in love. He is shown telling Kaity, "My heart flutters when I think of you."
And Brooklyn cries to Zach, "You mean the world to me," before she admits she's "ready to take that next step" with him.
There also appears to be drama on the way, mainly around Kat and Brooklyn, as well as a lot of tears, with some of the women speaking out about how they're afraid to lose the man of their dreams.

"It's been a heartbreaking journey but I've found my love. I've caused pain and I've made mistakes, and my mind and my heart are being pulled in separate directions," Zach shares.
"But standing here with the ring, I just hope that it's all worth it," he concludes.

Zach's The Bachelor season is "a bit of a throwback" and "a beautiful story"
Jesse Palmer told E! News in November that Zach's season "is a bit of a throwback.""This season is a lot more about the romance and the love, and maybe a little bit less about the drama," explained Jesse, who starred on Season 5 of The Bachelor back in 2004.
Jesse also said on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast in early January that Zach "really shines" throughout his season.
"I really think he comes through," Jesse teased. "He has a beautiful story, and I'm really excited for people to see it."

"This is easily the most emotional show that I've hosted in the franchise to date," Jesse told E! News in November.Jesse also told Us Weekly that The Bachelor bachelorettes were "really into Zach."
Jesse shared late last year, "Zach's so emotionally mature and he's a guy that's not afraid to wear his emotion on his sleeve. He's very, very intentional. This is easily the most emotional show that I've hosted in the franchise."

Brooklyn emerges as The Bachelor season's new "villain" after Christina's exit
After Christina Mandrell was sent packing, Brooklyn Willie reportedly emerged as The Bachelor season's new "villain."Carbone heard that Brooklyn was a pot-stirrer and happened to be in the middle of a lot of the drama.
"But from all I've been told, [Brooklyn] just liked to instigate things that seemingly would keep her on TV," Carbone reported in his blog.
Charity and Ariel get one-on-one dates in Estonia
Tallinn, Estonia is where Zach and his remaining bachelorettes reportedly traveled to after London.Charity Lawson received the first one-on-one date, and then Zach enjoyed a group date.
Ariel Frenkel accompanied the Bachelor on the second solo date of the week.
At the sixth Rose Ceremony in Estonia, Carbone believes Zach went from nine bachelorettes to only seven women.
Jessica "Jess" Girod was definitely eliminated in Estonia, according to Carbone.
Carbone was initially unsure if Alyssa "Aly" Jacobs was sent home while Zach and his bachelorettes were in London or Estonia, however given The Bachelor season's London stop has now aired on ABC, he now knows Aly was sent home in Estonia.
Brooklyn gets sent home on a one-on-one date in Hungary
Zach went on two one-on-one dates in Budapest, Hungary with Kaitlyn "Kaity" Biggar and Brooklyn Willie.ADVERTISEMENT
However, Zach reportedly denied Brooklyn a rose on their solo date.
Carbone isn't sure whether there was a formal Rose Ceremony in Hungary. It's possible that Zach just determined his Final 4 bachelorettes by handing out roses on his dates instead.
The other two women ousted by Zach in Hungary were Katherine "Kat" Izzo and Greer Blitzer.
Zach's Final 4 bachelorettes are Ariel, Charity, Gabi and Kaity
At the seventh Rose Ceremony, which took place in Hungary, Zach went from seven bachelorettes to only four women.Zach's Final 4 bachelorettes were Ariel Frenkel, Charity Lawson, Gabriella "Gabi" Elnicki, and Kaitlyn "Kaity" Biggar.
Gabi was caught reading Game of Roses' How to Win the Bachelor book during her stay at the mansion, so it's likely Gabi's intentions were questioned at some point in the process.
