But I do not know if zen cart supports this feature or if there is an add-on which does following:
It will also add the item to back order list for the customer and not charge for it until there is inventory in stock. (need to see how zencart handles these situations out of the box and do it the same way).
as far as i'm aware you can allow checkout for items that are out of stock, so you could just have a standard message advising items will be dispatched when back in stock.
I doubt without some seiolus custom coding you would be able to show individual expected dates for products, though having said that the code exists because you can display expected products listing on a category view and I guess that is simply pulling product details based on that category id.. so you could maybe use the same code in the shopping cart and instead of checking category, check the product id's in cart..
of course also depends if you have a mod like stock by attributes which could complicate things further.
