I don't think that the empty set is very often a replacement for "zo'e".
Though it could be for, say, "zo'e cmacyselcmi", or "zoimy {} my sinxa zo'e".

You're just really grasping for a way that something called "nothing" can be
something. If you do that, you have to be very careful, or else you get into
classic tricks:

Nothing is better than eternal life.
A ham sandwich is better than nothing.
Therefore a ham sandwich is better than eternal life.
