Without knowing more, I can only venture a guess. I suspect that "spring full-blown" means " didn't come out of Zeus' brain fully developed". See Spot run could mean anything.

The full sentence would be helpful. (I expect it's "from Zeus' cranium".)
What/Who didn't spring?
To "spring full-blown from something" is to skip the normal gestation period.
It's a sort of sarcastic remark intended to assert that "things" typically take time to develop.
"See Spot run" is a famous line from an American first grade reader.

According to Greek mythology, the goddess Athena "burst forth from his [Zeus's] forehead fully armed and grown."
Your sentence is a play on this myth.
Please note that we spell it Zeus, not Zues.
