Dear Vijay and Loïc,

I have identified some artifacts in the results when using zApply on my data. 
To reproduce it, please download this shapefile 
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/in2z10mlerr2sfu/southern.zip?dl=0) and run the code 
below (see the comments after the plot commands):

-----------------------
library(raster)
library(zoo)

# Create the date sequence
idx <- seq(as.Date("1961/1/1"), as.Date("1990/12/31"), by = "day")

# Create raster stack and assign dates
r <- raster(ncol=24, nrow=21, xmn=-58, xmx=-47.5, ymn=-34, ymx=-22, 
resolution=0.5)
s <- stack(lapply(1:length(idx), function(x) setValues(r, runif(ncell(r)))))
s <- setZ(s, idx)

# Load shapefile and crop data
shp <- shapefile('~/Downloads/southern.shp', warnPRJ=F)
s.c <- crop(s, extent(shp))
s.c <- mask(s.c, shp)
plot(s.c,1)
plot(shp,add=T) # Looks good

# Loïc's approach using zApply
sYM <- zApply(s.c, by = as.yearmon, sum)
sM <- zApply(sYM, by = months, mean)
plot(sYM,1)  # Note that the "empty" space across the extent was filled with 0's
plot(sM,1)  # The same "gray area" here

# Vijay's approach using calc
idxYM <- as.integer(strftime(idx,"%Y%m"))
idxM <- unique(idxYM)%%100
meanYM <- calc(s.c, fun=function(x) { by(x, idxYM, sum) })
meanM <- calc(meanYM, fun=function(x) { by(x, idxM, mean) })
plot(meanYM,1)  # Note that no 0 was added across the extent
plot(meanM,1)  # This is OK too, no grey area
-----------------------

Basically, a portion of the raster extent was filled with 0's after using 
zApply. It doesn't happen when using calc.

Any ideas on what can be causing this?

Looking at Loïc's answer and from reading ?zApply I learned of
stackApply, which is used internally by zApply.  While zApply is for
time series of layers, stackApply is more general and can be used for
applying functions to groups of layers in a stack/brick.  It is very
similar to base R's `tapply`.  And it is also fast!

> system.time(meanYM1 <- stackApply(s, idxYM, mean))
   user  system elapsed
   0.45    0.03    0.48
> system.time(meanYM <- calc(s, fun=function(x) { by(x, idxYM, mean)}))
   user  system elapsed
  17.50    0.01   17.61
> all(meanYM[] == meanYM1[])
[1] TRUE

Thanks Loïc for pointing out zApply.
