I don't know much about ActiveMQ but you need to pass the zipkin trace information along.

Review the ActiveMQ Collector section in this doc https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin/blob/master/zipkin-server/README.md

I just set up Zipkin tracing for a stack that includes RabbitMQ. I added the parent_span_id, and span_id to the message header before the message is placed on the queue. Then the applications that read the messages get the trace information from the header.

And if you need more help, I recommend jumping on IRC #zipkin.
