Tips for Playing as Jinx with Zilean
Rockets aren't always the best choice! Jinx's minigun is incredibly powerful when fully ramped up. Switch to it whenever an enemy champion gets too close.
Jinx's rockets deal full damage to all enemies in the explosion. Use them on minions in lane to hit nearby enemy champions without drawing minion aggro.
When a fight starts try to stay on the edge of fray by poking with rockets and Zap!. Do not run in and unload with the minigun until you feel it is safe.
Advice to Understand How Zilean Will Play
Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.
Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.
You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

This difference could indicate that Zilean provides cover for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Zilean.
Additionally, when Jinx plays with Zilean on the same side, she on average takes more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Zilean does a poor job of protecting Jinx during team fights.

Is Jinx better when played alongside Zilean?
There is no one best companion for Jinx that will always be her top synergy. Yet, overall, Zilean is a very typical ally for Jinx. By playing on the same team as Jinx, he improves their win rate by 0.7% to 50.5%. This proves that there is only a small strategic relationship between Jinx and Zilean that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.
Zilean has a lower difficulty than Jinx. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Zilean allies to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.
Fighting cooperatively, Jinx players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Together, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
Although, by grouping Jinx and Zilean together, you probably will not be granting your side much cover. Make sure to include other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in this pairing's potential.
Regardless of your Zilean ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
