Right Yano, let's go.
Copper metal does not react with lead nitrate and zinc sulfate solutions because copper is less reactive than both lead and zinc. A metal can only displace a less reactive metal from its salt solution. Since copper is lower in the reactivity series than lead and zinc, it cannot displace them from their respective salt solutions.
