Currently there is no way to zero-fill in Kibana 5, unfortunately. However, this is an issue already created in the Kibana GitHub repo to make this happen: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5911. If you have a GitHub account, I would encourage you to subscribe to this issue and/or post a comment on it explaining your use case so you can start receiving updates on its progress.
