There must be some misunderstanding here; no license that prohibited
distribution of binaries built from modified source would be considered a
Free Software license, and zlib is certainly considered free. :)
The only relevant requirements in the license (according to
/usr/share/doc/zlib1g/copyright) are:
1. The origin of this software must not be misrepresented; you must not
claim that you wrote the original software. If you use this software
in a product, an acknowledgment in the product documentation would be
appreciated but is not required.
2. Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such, and must not be
misrepresented as being the original software.
Are you looking at a different zlib license than this one?
