I can reproduce this:

    % docker run -e TERM -it --rm zshusers/zsh:5.8 zsh
    7a7002248c6a# print 'HISTFILE=~/hist'              >>~/.zshrc
    7a7002248c6a# print 'HISTSIZE=9223372036854775807' >>~/.zshrc
    7a7002248c6a# print 'SAVEHIST=9223372036854775807' >>~/.zshrc
    7a7002248c6a# print 'setopt incappendhistory'      >>~/.zshrc
    7a7002248c6a# exec zsh
    7a7002248c6a# echo 1
    1
    7a7002248c6a# echo 2
    2
    7a7002248c6a# cat ~/hist
    echo 1
    echo 2
    cat ~/hist
    7a7002248c6a# echo "
    dquote>
    7a7002248c6a# cat ~/hist
    echo 1
    cat ~/hist

Replacing 9223372036854775807with mere 1000000000000000000 avoids the issue.
