The authors search for high-mass resonances decaying into Z boson pairs using data corresponding to 6 fb{sup -1} collected by the CDF experiment in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV. The search is performed in three distinct final states: ZZ {yields} {ell}{sup +}{ell}{sup -}{ell}{sup +}{ell}{sup -}, ZZ {yields} {ell}{sup +}{ell}{sup -}{nu}{nu}, and ZZ {yields} {ell}{sup +}{ell}{sup -}jj. For a Randall-Sundrum graviton G*, the 95% CL upper limits on the production cross section times branching ratio to ZZ, {sigma}(p{bar p} {yields} G* {yields} ZZ), vary between 0.26 pb and 0.045 pb in the mass range 300 < M{sub G*} < 1000 GeV/c{sup 2}.
