It's a Terminology issue rather than a zsh one. Zsh only gets a ^H and has no further information. It may be that Terminology can be confiured: xterm lets you do that with X resources. Or you may find another key combination that can be configured: Alt-Left and Ctrl-W are common choices for that. Oliver
