This is also why Superman is able to defeat Zod in the way he does (considering one of their powers is Invulnerability), his powers were not as developed thus he was able to whittle him down to the point where he was vulnerable easier. Superman isn't invincible...his invulnerability has limits if you beat on him long enough eventually he will become vulnerable, they did this to him quite a while ago since he was found to be just too damn powerful.
No reason that Zod wouldn't run on the same logic and he was on Earth for a far less amount of time, and therefore wouldn't have absorbed as much of the solar radiation, so his invulnerability/stamina would be far reduced compared to Supermans.
I don't think this is a good movie per-say, but it's not quite as bad as people are making it out to be.

I was under the impression that the Kryptonians' armored suits protected them from the Earth's environment, including the Sun's radiation. But Zod, Faora and Nam-Ek (the really, really large guy) showed no signs of having trouble adapting to their powers within
minutes of walking about on Earth. Sure, they were overloaded by their super-senses, but, again, Zod shook that off because the script said so.
And I do believe Superman would have led them away from Smallville and Metropolis,
BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONE THEY WERE AFTER! Blast 'em with some heat vision to lure them away. But no, we have to see shit blow up because they had $225 million to spend. And, as I keep mentioning, Superman contributes to the destruction, and clearly gives no fucks.
And Kryptonian
air is the kryptonite replacement? Really? Air? And, he couldn't hold his breath to take out the doomsday machine?
Just like Nolan's Batman, this Superman isn't not all bright and charges head-first into an ass-whoopin'.
