There is no such character as ^; so most terminals just send a ; when
you press ctrl-;, this is true of many other ascii chars near that
range. If you can rebind the keycombo in your terminal you can bind
that in zsh, but that is specific to your particular terminal.

In urxvt you could put this in your x resources:
URxvt.keysym.C-semicolon: \033[50~
