Just to elaborate on nadeem's post:
If z1+z2+z3 = 0 then we can find complex numbers a, b and c such that z1=a-b; z2 = b-c and z3 = c-a. On the Argand Plane, let these be represented by the points A, B and C. Now, it is easy to see that the angle between any two zi is the exterior angle at the vertices A, B and C.
 
Let the interior angles be 12 and 3. Now let's assume that none of the external angles are greater than 2/3
Then 1+2 < 2/3
       2+3 < 2/3
       1+3< 2/3
 
Summing up, 1+2+3 <  which contradicts 1+2+3 = .
Hence atleast one exterior angle is greater than 2/3.
