So, how did you connect the hub to the PiZero?

If its connected to the power socket (the microUSB socket nearest the
corner), then that's not going to work because that socket is only for
use as a power inlet. There is only one data-capable micro-USB socket:
the one to the left of the power socket when the sockets are on the edge
nearest to you.

Apparently the data-capable USB socket can also power the Pi zero, so
shifting the connection to it should do the trick.
