In 1981 Zentmyer retired from teaching and was awarded the American Phytopathological Society's Award of Distinction after having been a longtime member and officer. That same year the California Avocado Society gave Zentmyer a "special award of merit", only the third in their 65-year history, to recognize his work to save the avocado. In 1983 he was a resident at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Center.
