I do not know if your volumes are SMS managed or not. If they are and you issue the zfsadmn command, you can see if it grows the way you think it should.
Or as others have suggested, create a bigger new one. Copy from zFS to other. Then delete your older file. Have you looked at the df command? That tells you how much you have consumed in the zFS file. If you create a new zFS file, you may want to include multiple volumes in the DEF command.
