Phillips Keith identified Zamiel as a synonym for Satan, the archetype of evil. [RB Hell (online text)]
Kenneth Scott's library included Zancherius [HK Hydra (online text)].
This is probably a reference to Ugolini Zancherius, author of Tractatus de hœreticis (Mantua, 1567; Rome, 1579). Google Books has the online text in Latin. The work is cited in the bibliography of The History of Witchcraft and Demonology, by Montague Summers (Reprinted by Citadel Press in 1993). The Internet Archive has the online text of Summers' book.
The work that Summers calls Tractatus de hœreticis is apparently the same as the Tractatus super materia hereticorum of Zanchino Ugolini, "an inquisitorial manual from the early fourteenth century. The great nineteenth-century historian Henry Charles Lea described Ugolini's work as 'one of the clearest and best manuals of practice that we possess.' . . . No modern edition exists." ["An Inquisitor in Manuscript and in Print: The Tractatus super materia hereticorum of Zanchino Ugolini," by Peter Diehl, from Siân Echard and Stephen Partridge (eds.), The Book Unbound: Editing and Reading Medieval Manuscripts and Texts, University of Toronto Press, 2004. The De Gruyter publisher website provides a one page sample as of 07/12/2024]

Zhaum, Knygathin
A cannibalistic outlaw of Hyperborea. Knygathin's mother Sfatlicllp was descended from Tsathoggua, and Knygathin's father was a voormi. [CAS Pnom] It was whispered that Knygathin was also descended partly from the dark, variable spawn that had come down to Earth with Tsathoggua. [CAS Testament (online text)]
Knygathin lived in the Eiglophian Mountains, among the voormis, from whom he recruited most of his band. Because of his mixed descent, he looked much different from his shaggy fellow tribesmen, being hairless from crown to heel and pied with great spots of black and yellow; and moreover was reputed to exceed all others in his cruelty and cunning. With his band, he committed numerous atrocities in the foothills near the Eiglophians and eventually attacked a suburb near Commoriom. He was captured by government forces and executed three times by Atthamaus, the chief headsman of Commoriom. However, Kyngathin returned to life each time, with progressively more distorted and inhuman features. The last time, he assumed a form so horrific and vast that the entire population of Commoriom fled the city permanently. [CAS Testament (online text)]
After the public evacuation of Commoriom, the city came to be occupied by Knygathin Zhaum's fissional spawn. [CAS Pnom] Apparently it was one of these spawn who ate Tirouv Ompallios and the right hand of Satampra Zeiros. [CAS Tale (online text)]
