All the given solutions seem to forget about one thing about
$PATH. An empty element in it means "current directory".
$path instead of "$path[@]" removes the empty components in it.
That doesn't apply to $^path, though, but to the other
solutions.
$ echo $PATH
/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:
$ print -rl $path
/usr/xpg4/bin
/usr/bin
/usr/local/bin
$ print -rl "$path[@]"
/usr/xpg4/bin
/usr/bin
/usr/local/bin
$ print -rl ${^path}(N)
/usr/xpg4/bin
/usr/bin
/usr/local/bin
$
You can change "" to "." with ${path/(#s)(#e)/.}
but that's slightly different.
$ PATH=/::/bin://bin/
$ print -rl ${(u)${${path/(#s)(#e)/.}//\/##/\/}/(#b)(?)\/(#e)/$match}
/
.
/bin
$
(note that ${path/%\//} changes "/" into "".
