I do not think you can put a loop into ZPL code, it's a formatting language not a programming language.

You can, however, put the loop in your C# code and build strings that you can then concatenate. Pseudo code:

string ZPL = "^XA ^FX Name...";
foreach( var item in dataReader) {
    ZPL += "^FO50,580^FDSub Total: ^FS" + item.SubTotal + "^FS";
}
ZPL += "^XZ";
