I love this solution: simple, understandable, elegant.

As a nit, I might take out the ys and zs names, which obscure the fact that there is a hidden symmetry in the problem:

maxsubarrays xs = pickBest  (return xs >>= inits >>= tails)
 where pickBest = maximumBy (compare `on` sum)
  -- NOTE: Since pickBest is invariant under permutation of its arg,
  --       the order of inits and tails above may be reversed.
