I don't use SHARE_HISTORY (just inc_append_history,
hist_ignore_all_dups, hist_no_store and my history sizes are 100
times larger than yours), but...

...after some cygwin update (a few months ago) my zshs also started
freezing during startup.  I tracked the problem down to HISTFILE
being assigned a file that resides on a network drive (a Linux
samba share in this case, I didn't try anything else).  If I
changed my history file to reside on a local hard drive, zsh no
longer froze.  Is your home directory on a local drive?
