If I remember right, TB originates from Britain, but currently lives in America and has done so for a while now. If so, he might have unconsciously switched from saying "zed" to saying "zee" during his time here, having picked up some of the local ways of speaking.
Then again, I have a bad memory, so I could be wrong.

Yes. That also applies to Canada and Australia. But for whatever reason almost every British person on youtube ends up habitually pronouncing it as "zee" eventually.
As a Canadian who lives just a few miles from the border of America I can tell you that most of the time we say 'zee'. We're taught to say 'zed' but because of how heavily influenced we are by America though media most southern Canadians end up switching over. Our spelling is often mocked as well but since auto-correct programs on most devices refer to the American way, we too are subconsciously taught to spell as Americans do. It's quite frustrating at times.

I saw on the TB reddit that allegedly the reason for it is that whenever it has to do with zombies or anything like it it's pronounced zee. So apparently few British people say "World War Zed" or "The War Zed"

Zombies in killing floor are called Zeds.
Anyway, the main reason he even did this was because he heard that someone already got their negative review taken down, so he pretty much did this as a "come at me bro".
Simon Pegg says Zed in Shaun of the Dead. Which is part of where this name came from.

Usually it's zed, but this game is meant to be pronounced zee.
Castle Miner Zed doesn't exactly have the same ring to it.
