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 or zlib_binary 
(IIRC they caused me problems).

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