It might be a modified fastboot, what only accepts uploads via a serial
console - JTAG, by example. It wouldn't be a surprise, as ZTE has been
deliberately trying to disable user-flashing, and removing fastboot is a bit
against the Android principles (to always have a method what can recover a
dead device). While this principle is not official, as I heard, Google
requires it most of the time (to make the work of warranty services easier,
and unified, except Samsung ofc...), and disabling it wasn't the best step,
so locking it down (á lá HTC) might be a better solution.
