The name says exactly what it is. It's not at all dreadful. If we're going to return a special value in the zero-size case (and in only that case) as a valid pointer instead of actually allocating one byte and treating it as zero, what we have is...a zero-size pointer.
No, what we have is a sizeof(pointer) sized pointer pointing to an object of size zero. ZERO_SIZE_PTR is butt-ugly. With a really ugly butt.
