I don't have a PiZeroW to check this, but:

Is eth0 the wlan interface? If wlan0 is the wlan interface, change eth0
to wlan0 in interfaces stanza below. Is your router a dhcp server on
wifi using PSK?

/etc/network/interfaces should contain a stanza like:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
         wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf should contain

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
         ssid="YourNetworkName"
         key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
         psk="YourNetworkPassword"
}

When done, run 'ifup eth0' (no quotes) or reboot.
