I love Zoe/Jayne. Be it romantic or friendly. They do definitely have a flirtation going. Another example, other than Jaynestown, was Shindig. "Cap'n, Can I have money for a slinky dress."/"I'll pitch in."/"I can hurt you."
While, granted, Jayne does the flirting, and Zoe does the threatening, it's all in good fun. I think it's Jayne's way of respecting her as both a woman and a warrior. And it's Zoe's way of creating comraderie with him. The thing Zoe and Jayne have most in common is Mal. They both follow him, hell or high water, and watch his back and each others. Even when they both know the plan is going to blow up in their faces, they still go.
I'm rambling on and on. But my point is that there is an untapped wealth of fic that could revolve around these two (much like Jayne/Inara) and no one is writing it. So I hope you're willing to give these two another go. You did a great job tapping into the complexity that would be Jayne and Zoe.
