The trivia section of the imdb "Zabriskie Point" posting on him says that the main scene with him in it was cut and that he can only be spotted in the jail scene up against the wall. I have the Letterbox version of the movie and I still don't see him. If he's there it's a fraction of a blink. I guess I'll just wait for the DVD with the outtakes and Director's cut (Yeah Right!).

Really? Wow! He would have been terrific in the lead roll, the part would have been a lot less wooden sounding and Antonioni still would have gotten his wish of having an unknown lead (at the time). Interesting, because presumably his character's name would have been Harrison or Harry then b/c Antonioni just had the main characters known by their real names. And I still can't spot him anywhere in the movie even as an extra. Not in the opening sequence, not in the jail sequence. I'm going to have to assume his footage was actually left on the editing room floor.
What an excellent day for an exorcism. -

I can't spot him either, though there's a guy with a beard in the opening credits right after "Executive Producer Harrison Starr" (ironically, his name is Harrison also) who looks vaguely like him. You can also see him when the students are talking about the revolution. I still don't think it's him, though. Harrison had a bit part in "Luv" three years before this film, and it's unmistakably him. In this film, I'm not so sure if he's in the version I saw.
And I agree that Harrison would be superb in Mark Frechette's role. Mark's extremely awkward performance dragged this film down considerably, in my book.
Can anyone link to a still of Harrison Ford in this film?
