Then make one up, or use some other code, e.g., 

% man 5 terminfo | grep italic
          enter_italics_mode          sitm      ZH     Enter italic mode
          exit_italics_mode           ritm      ZR     End italic mode
⋮
% 

FWIW, I use dim in my vcs_info output (see 47519, referenced by 48435).

Incidentally, just yesterday z-sy-h received a (duplicate) bug report
requesting, ultimately, that $zle_highlight grow support for italics.
