I'm not sure why it doesn't work...but I suggest trying using \@<=
instead of \zs as my experience has been that this often works better,
particularly in syntax highlighting; must be something to do with the
way the pattern engine works. So...try something like this:
syn region tComment start="\(;\_s*\)\@<=\*" end=";"
(You don't need a backslash before a semicolon like you had in the end
pattern really, do you? I don't think so, but I could be going crazy...)
