it depends on how you check zlib. zlib added zlib.pc recently
(something like zlib1.2.3 or 1.2.4, i can't remember).
what you can do:
1) check if zlib.pc exists (PKG_CHECK_MODULES)
2) if yes, add zlib to Requires.private
3) if no, check if header and library files exist
a) if yes add -lz to Libs.private
b) if no, well, do what you want when no zlib is not found
