You should tell it, then. From the docs:

zstyle ':completion:*:gzcat:*' file-patterns \ 
    '%p:globbed-files *(-/):directories' '*:all-files'

Or use _next_tags.

The actual question is - why it does not do it by default? Well, I
vaguelly remember some discussion on this - but I hopelessly missed it.

IMHO by default file completion should complete directories unless told
otherweise.

Completion for gzcat does not descend directories

As in subject. ^Xh lists all three standard tags, but if any *.gz file
is foundm directories are not listed.

I'd expect it to suggest both files and directories.
