The max number of zeros is two,since if it were three, then
8 would divide your number, which it never does. To check this note that it fails for n=1,2. so if 8 divides then it has to be for n>2. At that point 8 divides 2^n + 4^n so it would have to
divide 1^n + 3^n also. But 3^n leaves remainders 3,1 mod8
and 1^n leaves a remainder of 1 mod 8. When you add these they sum to a remainder of 2 or 4 mod8. Therefore 8 does
not divide 1^n+3^n and also does not divide
1^n+2^n+3^n+4^n and therefore since 8 divides 1000,
it's not possible for 1000 to divide your number and therefore
it can't end in three zeros. As Puzzling showed, it can end in
2 zeros so that 2 zeros is the max.

THE END OF
1^n+2^n +3^n + 4^n = 0 for any value of "n" .
The largest number of zero's that can occur at the end that is unit's place is "one' {1} only.
