Williams led 3-0 in the third set before suffering a lapse of concentration against Zvonareva, who reeled off five straight games to lead 5-3.
Zvonareva only needed to hold serve to win the match, but Williams regained control and won the match after the Russian doubled faulted.
The American will take on US Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova in the following match that will determine who advances to Saturday's final.
