Have you tried creating a blank zimbra.log file, making sure it is owned by the Zimbra user/group (chown zimbra:zimbra zimbra.log) and restarting Zimbra?
You may need to set the permissions (chmod 644 zimbra.log) on the file as well.

Dear Chauvet,
Thanks for your reply, I did all mentioned steps...
created blank zimbra.log file owned by zimbra with permission 644 and restarted the services but no improvement in writing log.
There seems issue with swatch.pid and logswatch.pid file with related process of zimbra.log and this thing happens on all time i create this blank file.
So to resolve this, after doing all these steps stopped the zimbra services and rebooted the server
Everything rebuilted and everything goes well.. No issues now.
