Maokai is a champion who EXCELS against champions who rely on kiting and mobility. Champions like riven and ekko have their mobility almost negated against champions like mao. Zoe's kit relies on clever plays using her Q (paddle star) and E (sleepy trouble bubble), this mixed with her ult let's her have good kiting. However, mao's interaction with portal jump is the same as Lissandra's glacial path. If he casts it at the right time, he will follow them back to the point of enter or exit. This can bring mao into the middle of an enemy team.
Mao is also what I describe as an anti mage in general, his lock down spam paired with his passive+spirit visage let's him stand in front of mage comps. A very skilled Zoe can probably avoid being killed by Maokai, but a good mao should NEVER die to Zoe 1v1.
A great zoe>a good mao
A great mao>a great zoe
