This is by no means an accurate tally. I just did it for my own benefit.
Based on my informal count, the following actresses have had the most number of shows aired on Zindagi channel. In this tally, I have considered actresses in 2nd lead roles, but not in supporting roles. This most likely excludes actresses like Saba Hameed, Samina Peerzada and Hina Bayat. Any way, here is my informal list
Sanam Baloch has appeared in 8 shows. She has appeared in Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam (Dastaan), Dhoop Chhaon (Durr e Shahwar), Aaja Sajna Miliye Juliye (Akbari Asghari), Daam, Kankar, Noorpur Ki Rani, Kuch Pyar Ka Pagal Pan Bhi Tha and Mausam (Roshan/Sitara)
Sanam Saeed has appeared in 8 shows namely ZGH, Shukk, Daam, Ranjish (Kadoorat), Mata-e-Jaan, Kisi Ki Khatir (Talkhiyaan), Ek Kasak Reh Gayee and Mera Naseeb, and one telefilm Yeh Phool Sa Nazook Chehra (Kahin Chaand Na Sharma Jaye)
Sarwat Gillani has appeared in 7 shows, namely Azar Ki Aayegi Baraat, Bezubaan (Mere Dard Ko Jo Zubaan Miley), Ishq Gumshuda, Kaisi Ye Qayamat (Meri Zaat Zarra e Benishan), Malaal, Dil e Nadaan (Dil e Muztar) and Mata e Jaan
Saba Qamar has appeared in 7 shows namely Aaj Rang Hai (Ullu Baraye Farokt Nahin), Maat, Thakan, Yahan Pyar Nahin Hai, Teri Raza (Shehryar Shehzadi), Na Kaho Tum Mere Nahin and Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam (Dastaan)
Aamina Sheikh has appeared in 7 shows namely Aaina Dulhan Ka (Mirat-ul-Uroos), Ishq Gumshuda, Jackson Heights, Maat, Piya Re, Daam, Shikkan (Silvatein). I think her appearance in Main Abdul Qadir Hoon was a guest appearance, so I did not include that.
Did I exclude any other actress with equal or greater performances?
I think that Sajal Ali and Maya Ali are up there in number of dramas. I will try to count them tomorrow.
