I have no idea were this is coming from. Please do this:

  % zsh -f
      (and in that new shell)
  % print -l $fpath

If that yields "/opt/intel/composerxe-2011.5.220/mkl/include" then that
is not from our package. That would be completely broken.

This makes me think that your zsh is actually entire broken, what source
are you getting your package from? Do:

  % apt-cache policy zsh

The unchanged $fpath from a default zsh installation on a recent debian
sid system should look like this:

In particular, we do NOT have any /opt/intel/... paths in there.
