What does Shabbetai Zevi have to do with the Zohar?

I was reading the Wikipedia entry on the Zohar and came across the following sentence:

The Dor Daim reject the Zohar outright, while the Spanish & Portuguese Jewish community removed all Zohar-related content from their prayerbooks and liturgy in the aftermath of Sabbatai Zevi‘s apostasy to Islam.

What does Shabbetai Zevi have to do with the Zohar?
