I have only done this using vs.net 2003, but when I did it, I found that 
I ONLY set the zlib path environment variables... zlib_libpath, 
zlib_source, and zlib_include. In fact, I just set them as explicit 
environment variables and then called bjam with the correct toolset.

I did not do anything with no_zlib or no_compression (IIRC they caused 
me problems).

You could try that and see if it works for you.
