zlib is a binary module, not a pure Python one.  It needs a shared 
library that patches the Python version, which should be getting 
installed when you install Python.

Can you say a bit more about what you're doing? What's your platform? 
Are you downloading a prebuilt Python 3.9 or building your own?  On 
Linux at least, building the library (which will end up with a name like 
zlib.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so) should work because cpython 
"vendors" it - that is, includes the source code in the cpython source 
bundle, and will use that unless the system zlib (and associated 
development kit) is usable for the build.
