The ISO does not need to be present -- if it is not present (wherever
you you decided to be the download directory), zsync will create it new:

[cerdea-aws]cerdea at xango3:/opt/VM/iso/ubuntu$ ls quantal-desktop-armhf+omap4.img 
ls: cannot access quantal-desktop-armhf+omap4.img: No such file or directory
[cerdea-aws]cerdea at xango3:/opt/VM/iso/ubuntu$ zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/quantal-desktop-armhf+omap4.img.zsync
#################### 100.0% 188.4 kBps DONE     

No relevent local data found - I will be downloading the whole file. If that's not what you want, CTRL-C out. You should specify the local file is the old version of the file to download with -i (you might have to decompress it with gzip -d first). Or perhaps you just have no data that helps download the file
downloading from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/quantal-desktop-armhf+omap4.img:
