Why am I getting this error if the user has been added to the wheel group where everything is set to 'all' ?

More context needed. Where are you getting this error? I'm going to assume sudo is involved due to the mention of the 'wheel' group, but as it stands, there is not enough information.

Also, what is '/etc/zsh/zshenv', where does it come from, and what are the permissions on it?

Mod note: moving to NC.

Why are you getting that error *where* in response to *what*?

pacman -Qo /etc/zsh/zshenv
stat /etc/zsh/zshenv

You're *NOT* supposed to execute that.
Probably post your zshrc/zprofile.

Edit: youknowhat…

I am trying to modify zshenv file, I want to put icons there which will be reflected on my suckless terminal.

Now I cannot edit it even with sudo from my user, I have to log in to the root user (which does not have any desktop environment, only fresh installation Linux console) and I can only modify that file from root user.

I want to be able to modify that file freely from my specific user.

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Also "man sudoedit"
