I thought I had disabled the zotero update check for Linux but it looks like it didn't work - what should I do to disable the version update attempt?

Whatever works for Firefox should work for Zotero too.

As far as I know, app.update.enabled disables automatic updates.

I don't know if it's possible to disable manual in-app updates short of
monkey-patching ZoteroStandalone.checkForUpdates() to show an alert
instead. (In Firefox there's an enterprise policy, DisableAppUpdate, but
that won't work on the current version of Zotero.)

That's what I was using. I've set the preference now instead.
