Update:
After 2 days, I found that the update had downloaded again and the notification had come back. So unfortunately it appears that the method that I described below does not work. I'm leaving it here in case it might help someone figure out a real solution.
For now the only thing that is confirmed to work is disabling the notifications from Google Play Services as described at the bottom of this post.
Update 2:
Please see the warning in post #4 before deleting the update file from your phone!

I'm running donjuro's "ZV4 updated stock ROM". This past week I started getting system update notifications for ZV5.
I was able to disable the notifications with this process.
1) Copy fotakill.apk into /system/app as discussed here:

2) Rename /system/app/LFOTA.apk to LGFOTA.bak
3) Delete update file from /cache. For ZV5 the file should be named something like "LS740ZV4_08-LS740ZV5_07_update.zip" and should be about 200MB.
4) Go into System Settings, Apps, All. Select Google Play Services. Select Clear Cache. Select Manage Space. Scroll to bottom and select Clear All Data.
5) Reboot phone
You need a root file manager for steps 1-3. There are many choices in the play store. This one is relatively small and simple:

A quicker method for hiding the notification is to just uncheck Show Notifications for Google Play Services in the app manager. This method won't prevent the update from being downloaded to your phone though.
