Commenting out HISTFILE means no history will be written.  Are there any
special permissions/ownership on ~/.history ?  Is this file being used
by, say, bash or some other file at the same time?  Might could be a
locking issue, but it's strange that it just now is occuring.  Try
changing the name of HISTFILE to something else, like ~/.zhistory and see
if it still hangs.
