Zemchyonok started his career in HC Spartak Moscow's academy. He reached the 2013 Kharlamov Cup final with JHC Spartak where they were defeated by Avangard Omsk's junior team Omskie Yastreby in Game 7 overtime.[1] He was also selected for the Youth Hockey League's all-star game in 2012 and 2013[2] and made his Kontinental Hockey League debut for Spartak during the 2011–12 season.[3]

Before the 2013–14 season, Zemchyonok was picked by Admiral Vladivostok in the 2013 KHL expansion draft.[4]

After concluding the 2017–18 season, his 5th with Admiral, Zemchyonok left as a free agent to sign a one-year contract with SKA Saint Petersburg, on 4 July 2018.[5] In 2018, he won the Deutschland Cup[6] and the Lucerne Cup[7] with the Russian national team. In January 2019, Zemchyonok suffered an injury that took him out for the rest of the season.[8] In the 2019 offseason, he signed another one-year contract with SKA.[9]

Zemchyonok played two seasons with SKA, before leaving as a free agent to sign a one-year contract with his fourth KHL club, Metallurg Magnitogorsk, on 4 May 2020.[10] He then signed a two-year extension with Metallurg.[11] In the 2021–22 season, he reached the Gagarin Cup final with Metallurg where they were defeated by HC CSKA Moscow in seven games.[12]

After three seasons with Metallurg, Zemchyonok returned to SKA Saint Petersburg as a free agent, agreeing to a three-year contract commencing from the 2023–24 season on 3 May 2023.[13] In 2023, he won the Channel One Cup with Russia.[14]

In 2024, Zemchyonok missed several months of the 2024-25 KHL season due to an injury.[15]
