Hm. Are you saying that if I use --with-zstd=/my/prefix that should work? That was the first thing I tried, but it didn't seem to work and I don't think (from reading the configure script) where this value is used as part of the path search. But, the shell output of autoconf is not easy to read so maybe I missed it. I can give it another try. So far the only thing that's worked for me is to set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS directly on the configure script with the appropriate options to find zstd in is proper location. I have similar problems trying to add an alternate location for curl.
