I know that it always has one specific charge, but I'm not sure what it is. Is it always zinc IV or zinc III?

It is neither III nor IV, it II
Zinc always oxidises to '2' and Zinc(II) is used for its inorganic compounds.

OK zinc has atomic number 30
and its electrons are in orbits like
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2
and its most stable situation is 3d10 or Zn(+2) where the orbit is full of electron
so the charge of zinc is +2 always (almost)

Zn: charge +2 generally
assuming you meant combining capacity

Search for the oxidation state of Lithium.
