Thanks. Setting the MODULE_PATH fixed the error. Also, I had to set
the FPATH variable so that zsh can find the function definitions. For
posterity, here is my ~/.zshenv

export MODULE_PATH=$HOME/opt/software/zsh/usr/lib/zsh/5.7.1:$MODULE_PATH
FPATH=$HOME/opt/software/zsh/usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion:$FPATH

Note that I am not exporting FPATH as suggested in
https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/33898/198064

thanks
