It will be using a command-not-found handler.  You can do this sort of
thing in recent versions of zsh if you find out what the back end is...

command_not_found_handler() {
  print "Attempting to locate the command $1..."
  # if you don't want to consider that the command has been handled...
  return 1
}

% fumble
Attempting to locate the command fumble...
zsh: command not found: fumble
