What about 
   test '*.aux' :-)

But really, you want

   unsetopt nomatch

% setopt nomatch
% test *.aux
zsh: no matches found: *.aux
% unsetopt nomatch
% test *.aux
*.aux
% whence -f test
test () {                                                                       
        echo $*                                                                 
}
