To be very clear, Adobe has not shipped a copy of Zapf Dingbats with FrameMaker since FrameMaker 5.5.6 if I recall correctly.
However, in fact, every printer with Adobe PostScript 3 still ships with a
host-installable Type 1 (both for Windows and Macintosh) versions of Zapf
Dingbats.
The real issue appears to be not whether Adobe ships this font under what
circumstances, but rather, whether the users install the font (assuming they
have use of an Adobe PostScript 3 device) and a likely bug/omission in
FrameMaker by which a font substitution is made without making a character
remapping to Unicode at the same time.

Subject: The "Zapfdingbats" Font Family is not available. (Was: Updating older
versions of Adobe fonts? Slightly off-topic, but related in a way!)
Dear Craig,
I experienced this same issue as my company's product reads in *alot* of
XML content, and one of the customers panics whenever they see _any_
FrameMaker 'console' messages.
The mapping appears to be made in an entity formats document:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker10\Structure\entfmts"
which has a rather historic comment that "FrameMaker+SGML copies
character formats and user variables from this file while importing
SDATA entities from SGML documents".
This isn't the first occurrence of where Adobe ships files that
reference fonts that are no longer supplied, and probably won't be the last.
