No. Zero sale and zero basis does not need to be entered. As long as the S-corp has the money to pay back the loans that the shareholders made then their basis is returned to them and you don't need to enter the zero dollar sale transaction.
If the S-corp didn't have the money to repay to the shareholders then the sale would be entered to show a loss of the amount that was not repaid.
