I installed the packages zsh and zsh-doc, but when I type man zsh, I get no manual entry for zsh. Where can I find zsh docs?

You can find the docs in /usr/share/doc/zsh-common. I suspect if you also install zsh-common, you will also find the man pages.

ZSH(1)                      General Commands Manual                     ZSH(1)

NAME
       zsh - the Z shell

OVERVIEW
       Because  zsh contains many features, the zsh manual has been split into
       a number of sections:

       zsh          Zsh overview (this section)
       zshroadmap   Informal introduction to the manual
       zshmisc      Anything not fitting into the other sections
<snip>

It appears to be a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zsh/+bug/1242108 Posts #21 and 22 suggest work-arounds. It is apparently fixed for Ubuntu 14.10 as it works perfectly on my system.
