The widget is backward-kill-word. I'd also suggest utilizing the
ability of bindkey to process multiple arguments at once – it'll spare
some space:

bindkey "^A"      beginning-of-line     "^E"      end-of-line
bindkey "^?"      backward-delete-char  "^H"      backward-delete-char
bindkey "^W"      backward-kill-word    "\e[1~"   beginning-of-line
bindkey "\e[7~"   beginning-of-line     "\e[H"    beginning-of-line
bindkey "\e[4~"   end-of-line           "\e[8~"   end-of-line
bindkey "\e[F"    end-of-line           "\e[3~"   delete-char
bindkey "^J"      self-insert           "^M"      accept-line
bindkey "^R"      history-incremental-search-backward
