DT:TZ intentionally doesn't support them.  It's not aiming to provide
precisely the semantics of the Olson database, and you'll see they're
not listed in DT:TZ:Catalog.  If you want to resolve zone names
exactly as in the Olson database, use DateTime::TimeZone::Olson (a
separate distribution).  If you want timezones of fixed offset, prefer
DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly over the Olson Etc/ names.
