zwr.*?\\0

first remove ^ and $ if you global match

second use a non-greedy match .*?

by the way,your regex101's link have an empty line

I believe this should do the trick:

zwr\s*\^test\d*\\0

You were using ^ and $ which means the entire string can only contain the matching text, not allowing for repetitions, so I removed that. You also had .* which will greedily match everything after the first zwr.

I made the pattern more explicit in matching the target strings, but with flexibility around what digit.
