Depends on how its done, at best climb speed you will probably be meat on a platter in a short time. But if you climb fast then you will outclimb and outrun the Zero at the same time.

Zeroes are nimble little buggers in the lower speed region, but at higher speeds they lose maneuverability a lot.
What is even worse than the high speed turn of the Zero is their high speed aileron response - and the P40/P39/F4F/F4U have good to excellent roll rates all along. And you can always use your roll rate to follow them turning, google "lag displacement roll"

Besides that, Ki-43 should turn as well as Zero, and nearly any biplane in this sim, too.
