I am fascinated. As far as I am aware, it is not possible to electrodeposit zirconium from an aqueous bath; however, if you know better, please tell us all. I believe the only ways you may get zirconium down is to use a fused salt bath comprising K2ZrF6 with NaCl. I believe there was a non-aqueous bath suggested using ether along with halides, hydrides or borohydrides along with organometallics, but I don't know anything about it. I eagerly await your information on aqueous plating of zirconium.
