Wow in the end my problem was all PEBCAK

zsh can only complete if there is one or more existing set of 
subdirectories

e.g.

cd /z/z/z will not expand as no such hierarchy exists on my pc but as 
you get no warning message you may (incorrectly) think the feature isn't 
working

whereas

cd /e/X/f/<tab>

successfully expands to

cd /etc/X11/fonts/
