Install the BetterBibTeX plugin in Zotero and then use the citr package in R. See here for General instructions on adding citations to an R Markdown document (though citr makes this easier): https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/authoring_bibliographies_and_citations.html

When using pandoc to produce anything but PDF (which pandoc does through LaTeX IIRC), I recommend using CSL JSON or CSL YAML rather than BibTeX. Pandoc uses CSL internally and if you use BibTeX you go through an (by necessity) assumption-laden and lossy transformation from close-to-CSL to BibTeX by Zotero, followed by an (again, by necessity) assumption-laden and potentially lossy transformation of that BibTeX back into CSL.
