If you dont't want to use a commercial product to mount the smb share provided by the samba zone (such as sharity), I think your only chance is to share the zone's filesystem via NFS form the global zone. Either you have your zfs dataset just in the global zone and export it to both the samba and the www zone (i don't know if putting a samba share on top of a NFS share is a good idea), or you delegate the zfs pool to the samba zone and then export it from the global zone (like share /zones/zone-samba/root/data/smb if your zone-path ist /zones/zone-samb and your datadir is /data/smb). The more elegant solution in my opinion is the first one as zfs can share filesystems by setting just one parameter. You may have to look if there are any locking issues with samba on top of NFS, i think there were at least some with the Linux NFS implementation. If you choose soloution b, sharing a delegated dataset from the global zone, you have to be sure that all mounts are disconnected and you unshare the mount form the global zone before you shut down the samba zone. If you forget to do that, your samba zone won't come down. The only soloution I found to clear the zone was to reboot the whole box.
