Early searches indicate it is either a department of the Solvenian government or it is a vessel size designator for traveller.
FASA seem to have used it as a designator for very large ships.
On the "Classic traveller Product List" I found the following:
Supplement ISPMV: Fenris 1981
Supplement SPV: Valkyrie
Supplement ISCV: King Richard 1981
Supplement ISPMV: Tethys 1981
Supplement ISCV: Leander 1981
Supplement ZISMV: Vlezhdatl 1981
That will at least give the following people context to answer the question with.
We KNOW that TJ recently bought the King Richard - so he may be willing to give the answer

You hit it right on the head, I thought it was something N.C.C.1701, USS Intrepid or the IISS and everyone was familiar with it but me:

I'm guessing:
CV - Cargo VEssel
MV - Mechant Vessel
PV - ? Vessel
the other bits, who knows....
IS could be Imperial Standard or Imperial Subsidised
S could be Standard, or Subsidised

MV =Military vessel
CV= Cargo vessel
IS= Interstellar Starship
(FASA's version of IDP-Imperial design program)
The Valkyrie SPV is a non Interstellar design-an armed lander for the Tethys class (carried 6 of these 20dtn fine machines/ external grapples on dorsal after deck).
SPV does not have "Interstellar", hence no "I".
P= Paramilitary

then if that's the case, what does the "Z" stand for...?
i would think it would be "I" for Imperial, and then the "Z" would make sense as Zhodani

Z= Zhodani, aye.
I+ Imperial, okay.
I+ Imperial, okay.
