Please help me on resolving this.

No. Both hosts needs to have hardware clock as UTC + time zone definition. Because all time stamps in zabbix db are written as UTC zabbix frontend allays is able to present those timestamps as time in exact time zone.

I have the same problem after upgrade Zabbix 3.2 to 4.0

In my case help

1. fix time on the server.
2. restart agent zabbix.

You need to have everywhere as RTC (Real Time clock) as UTC time. Check what shows you "date -u" command.
You can have on every system different time zone but UTC it is on top of UTC.
Looks like you are setting up on those system as RTC not UTC but exact zone times by this you have all those observed time shifts.
Your issue has nothing to do with zabbix. Simple you are setting up incorrectly time on your systems

The default Zabbix timezone is hardcoded to be Europe/Riga this is done by editing the file /etc/apache2/conf-available/zabbix.conf

I have a question, guys.
I have a local server but manage monitoring from servers in Canada (I'm located in Mexico). How can add a second clock with eastern time zone?

as widget? Set widget to "Host time" and collect that time from required host... (system.localtime[<type>])
