I have an idea, then, for how to incorporate "zapping early" with these older posts being rediscovered, for after you make that change.
On any day when a post/comment is a top post/comment, the earliest zapper will be whomever zapped it first on that day. Basically, the clock starts retroactively, conditional on being a top item of the day.

I like that. I hadn't thought about how we'd reward it, but that seems spot on.

An addendum just occurred to me. Posts/comments should retain their "top" status until they have a day where they aren't zapped sufficiently. You don't want a post that's popular for two days in a row resetting at midnight and starting the early clock over again.

What about something that scales the age of the post and how many sats it got.
Really old posts with 0 sats will reward more if they reach top.

Ah I see your point. As a consequence of restarting the clock though, I think that's how it'd work unless I went out my way to make it not that way.
