Zinc should never be used with treated wood. You use zinc for regular wood only.
Even though the way of pressure-treating lumber has adapted, specific fasteners will still experience accelerated corrosion. Specifically, zinc and hot-dipped galvanized screws will corrode over time when used in pressure-treated lumber. However, the thickness of the zinc coating will determine how quickly corrosion will occur.
For the longest time I thought pressure-treated wood meant it was treated with pressure. Only just crossed my mind that it means they use pressure to get the treatment chemicals further in the wood.

Some of them they even have “injectors” to get it deeper for stuff that’s permanently under ground.
I think it’s called PWF (Permanent Wood Foundation) wood in most places. Even most “treated” wood isn’t meant for direct ground contact.
