Zach stopped by "TMZ Live" Tuesday and spilled a few details about the multimillion-dollar deal selling the company he started at age 16 ... now 19, he's taking a "gap semester" after half his freshman year at the University of Miami ... one of the few schools that accepted him somehow, with his multimillion-dollar brain!
