The latest version of Zbrush does this automatically. I don't know why anyone wouldn't have the latest version since the upgrades are free. (Of course, you can use uv mapper to pre-save the group information and re-apply it to the obj. after finishing in Zbrush if you're experiencing some inexplicable failure.)
