And, in fact, as per that log, it did confuse the configure script, because...

...you *weren't* missing zlib-devel - you were missing the *64-bit version* of
zlib-devel.
I have a fix:
https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/22396/
which will cause the configuration process to fail if you can't link with zlib,
but the CMake version of the fix found a bug in the way we configure libz on
Windows, which I filed as bug 13850; that needs to be fixed before I can check
my fix in.
