use a tripod. as you zoom in you amplify any tiny shake in your hands. less light is able to get into the lens also so that the shutter speeds are decreased in order to give you a brighter image. taking pics is a balancing act.

And also use the timer on the tripod so you have no movement at all.

either that or you need to use a macro setting...you may be closer + zoomed in far enough that you are past the focus stop...

When you zoom in it's likely that the lens will not focus as closely as when zoomed out.

You cant zoom to close or they will always be blurry back it off a little.
