At an African Union summit in Egypt, George Charamba said the West had no basis to speak about the situation - and can "go hang a thousand times".
Zanu-PF's Robert Mugabe said he had won the vote, boycotted by the opposition.
The opposition MDC said Friday's one-man election had killed off any prospect of a negotiated settlement.
Tendai Biti, the Movement for Democratic Change's secretary-general who faces treason charges in Zimbabwe, said the country's "sham election" last week "totally and completely exterminated any prospect of a negotiated settlement".
He denied any negotiations were going on between the two parties, or that an agreement was in the offing.
"There are recent widespread reports that Zanu-PF and MDC are talking and are about to conclude an agreement to form a government of national unity," said Mr Biti.
"Nothing could be as malicious and as further from the truth."
The run-off was widely criticised by Western leaders as not being free or fair.
