Pre-race favourite and three-time winner Eloise Wellings was never in contention, with the Australian finishing fourth.
Jessica Ruthe was the last New Zealand woman to win the women's Zatopek in 2006, while the last men's winner was Robbie Johnston in 1994.
Buscomb finished second to Wellings in last year's Zatopek race and narrowly missed qualifying for New Zealand's Olympic team.
The Zatopek 10,000 is Australian athletics' most famous distance classic.
