"down" means something very specific for zones; see the comment for "ZONE_IS_SHUTTING_DOWN" through to "ZONE_IS_FREE" in usr/src/uts/common/os/zone.c. But I think by down you mean "not running": If a zone is not running (i.e. it is in the "installed" state) then (unless there are bugs) there should be no network interfaces for it.
