CTRL-\ lets the keyboard driver send a SIGQUIT to the running process(group).
Normally, that produces a coredump.
However, coredumps default to "off" in Linux (the corelimit size is
set to 0 by default for all processes). Try this:
$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ sleep 60
CTRL-\
zsh: quit (core dumped) sleep 60
$ ls -l core
