These directories and files (and some more) are clearly part of a zsh
debian package being installed, namely 5.0.8 as currently only present
in Debian Testing ("stretch"). Please do not delete any of these files
manually as it may wreck the state of dpkg/apt badly.

To get rid the package(s), call "apt purge zsh zsh-common" as root.

This (i.e. everything zsh-related under "/usr/local/") is clearly a
locally installed version. If "make uninstalled doesn't clean them up,
you may want to remove them manually

This is just apt's cache of downloaded .deb files. You can clean the
cache with "apt-get clean".

This is part of dpkg's tracking of which packages are installed. If
you delete anything in there manually, you may wreck dpkg's knowledge
of the system badly. They will go away, if you purge the zsh and
zsh-common packages as described above.
