Configure netcdf-4.9.2 without libzip

Attempting to configure netcdf-4.9.2 with Autotools such that -lzip does not get included as an "extra library". libzip is installed on the system in question, but due to some downstream linking issues, we specifically want to build netcdf without libzip (or zlib). Based on the docs, I thought that disabling nczarr and netcdf-4 (and therefore hdf5) would be enough, but no luck. I've been unable to come up with a combination of configure line options that eliminates the dependency; this is the most recent set I tried that still resulted in -lzip as an extra library:

--disable-shared
--disable-nczarr
--disable-hdf5
--disable-netcdf-4
--disable-netcdf4
--disable-dap
--disable-byterange
--disable-testsets
--disable-cdf5

Is there a set of options I can use to eliminate that dependency? Does the configure step always include that library when found regardless of whether it's needed?

EDIT: building with gcc 10.3.0
