+1 on the other replies so far. The nature of zero-day vulnerabilities is that you have not heard of them before.
Is z/OS inherently perfect and immune to all possible vulnerabilities, including those resulting from customer error? Of course not! Come to SHARE! Listen to the security presentations! Listen to Mark Wilson talk about pen testing assignments, and how he has never failed to get in within a few hours.

I’ve not heard of unpatched security holes in Z/OS before. Unless you are not properly managing your data, that is, limit access to confidential information, how would someone get it? Aside from of course, phishing and other attacks aimed at the users and not the machine itself.
