OPLS-AA does not support Zn ions.  You'll need to either import parameters from 
the literature (if they exist) or use a force field that does support it.

The more immediate concern is the fractional charges on the chains.  There was a 
bug that was fixed some time ago regarding incorrect histidine charges.  Please 
upgrade immediately to version 2016.1 if you want to use OPLS-AA so you get 
correct files.  The topology you're currently producing is incorrect.
