Defending champion Dame Sarah Storey failed to even get a spot on the podium as Zhou's compatriot Ruan Jianping pipped her to bronze by more than half a second.
ParalympicsGB's Crystal Lane put in a strong performance, finishing fifth overall with a time of 37.346s.
GB have now further solidified their hold on first spot in the cycling medals table, with a haul of six golds, one silver and one bronze.
