Something along these lines should work:
autoload -Uz zmv
zmv -C '/(home)/user/(A)/(B)/(C)/(D)/(files.txt)' '/$1/$2/$3/other/$4/$5/$6'
Unfortunately that doesn't translate well to replacing "files.txt" with
an arbitrary subtree pattern, because parenthesized glob patterns can
only refer to files within a single directory.
However, the special case of a recursive glob will work if you make use
of the -w option:
zmv -wC '/(home)/user/(A)/(B)/(C)/(D)/**/*(.txt)' '/$1/$2/$3/other/$4/$5$6$7'
Here $5 contains everything found by **/ _including_ the trailing slash,
and $7 contains the .txt extension; hence no slashes in $5$6$7.
