M81E is the 4 digit date code.  It is the date that the boat was "certified", meaning the date the certificate of origin was created as part of the build order. There are two legal methods for date codes. They can be either 4 numbers, or a combination of numbers and letters. In this case, the M is a meaningless placeholder, followed by the year 81, and E, which is December. The date does not always coincide with a "model year", although it can if a boat of a particular model year has paperwork created during the model year. If the paperwork is created before the model year begins, which does happen, it will be the date the paperwork was created.

ZCC is C&C Yachts….NOTL plant I think

30 is model

671 is hull number

M81 is 81 model

E is the keel laid down (production started) in December 1980 (boat model years start in September, like cars, so boats started in August of a given year (A) are the next model year)
