You just use n-1 commas when you want the effect of zipn.
Actually, that's not quite right, since that uses the applicative functor related to the list monad (so you get a list of 4-tuples of all possible combinations, rather than a 4-way zip). To get the zip behavior, you need to add a ZipList constructor in front of all the lists, and then apply getZipList at the end to extract.
