I think the problem is the ram. You only have 2 GB of ram in total and you give 512mb of it for Zorin6. I would expect zorin to run slow in VM (with also very low video memory and 1 processor/CPU accredited to it).

I have zorin6 in VM in a laptop with 4gb ram and I give 2gb for Zorin. It runns just fine.

Hmm but I also tried this:
Base Memory:

768 MB
Boot Order:

Floppy, CD/DVD-ROM, Hard Disk
Acceleration:

VT-x/AMD-V, Nested Paging, PAE/NX


No changes :(
