This isn't anything specific to Zabbix, there's something wrong with the install of snmptrapd itself. The partial error message it's giving you is

Mar 18 22:03:28 ip-10-1-1-228.ec2.internal snmptrapd[19629]: /usr/sbin/snmptrapd: relocation error: /lib64/libnetsnmptrapd.so.3...rence

Also, notice this "hint" from systemd:

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

You should run

systemctl status -l snmptrapd.service

and then find the full error message in that output and do some web searching for whether others have reported the same relocation error with libnetsnmptrapd on Amazon Linux, and if there's a fix for it.
