The Argentine has struggled to hold down a regular spot in the Hammers team since moving to Upton Park in 2014.
In 20 appearances, Zarate has scored five goals for West Ham, but it is believed that Malaga are keen to end the forward's spell in the Premier League, according to The Mirror.
Zarate's contract expires in 2017.
