We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
Using not with 2 branches is usually frowned upon. It's better to reverse branches and eliminate not:
if array:
return sum ...
return 0
Even better is to use try. But you're probably too young for that. :-)

"if int(digit)" is enough.
Or better, to remove duplications of int(...):
for digit in map(int, str(number)):
if digit:
mal *= digit
(You can even use filter(None,...) but let's not go there.:)
BTW what's "mal" (as a name)?
More
Same as before:
if args:
return max ...
return 0
In new Pythons, you can use default=0 in min and max.

Nice "oneliner". :-P But why all those list(...)s? [] are enough.
And sum([a,b,a]) is really nicer written as 2*a+b.

Then I am https://remarkable.com/ :-D

Sorry, *= max( , 1) is very unclear to me.
But this is obviously ridiculous. Everybody considers their own code clear.

Your idea of "functional programming" is very strange. Hint: lambdas and foldrs are not everything. :-D
See math.hypot, operator.and_, itertools.product, and itertools.starmap. And sorted returns a list already - what did you think, it will return an iterator? :-]
More
Yes, that's the way (a-ha, a-ha,) I like it (a-ha, a-ha). :-D
As a nitpick, I think that manual for-loop could be automatized (written as a real for loop), with while inside to repeat a single pass until d<0. But this is probably ok too.

A nice variant of my "Ordered" solution. :-) Is there _any_ reason to use d << 1 instead of d*2 (or even nicer, d+d :)? You just need parentheses for it.
BTW, in Py3.4, max finally got a "default" argument (despite Raymond's cries:), so you don't need that ugly line 4. :-]

Nice complex key. :-D But you don't have to search through the whole text, just through a..z. :-)
More
Please don't use "concatenating digits in a large base" as a method for selecting by multiple keys. Unicode has more than 1e5 code points (if not now, then soon:)). Tuples comparison is exactly meant for this. Key should be (count, -ord).
Also, this algorithm has quadratic complexity, while the t

Nice and complicated. :-P Wouldn't dict be more appropriate data structure for z?
More
First, if you _used_ regex here, that would be remarkable. Not using Python re here is like not using a bicycle for swimming. :-D
Second, argh. Please don't do
if c: return True
else: return False
if c binds something bool. Do
return c
Token count just went from 7 to 2. A
