Well It isnt a yes or no answer, do you use anything that uses zlib?
99/100 you are, ( ssh, java, apache )
There is a list of apps that use zlib on http://www.gzip.org/zlib/apps.html
To find out if the particular app has zlib compiled in static, I use strings
<file> |grep zlib for a quick check ,this is not sure fire, to be sure check
the documentation or source code.

To find out if the particular app is linked to zlib, I use ldd <file>
