Hi Marek,
I have no experience with MacTeX and OS X at all.  I also don't know
why less and Vim have problems.

But what you can do to see the whole output printed to screen is to
write to a log file as well:

  brew doctor 2>&1 | tee brewdoctor.log

The expression 2>&1 redirects stderr to stdout and tee(1) prints to
both, screen and the file specified by its argument.

If this fails too, please try the same with bash instead of zsh.

Regards,
  Reinhard
