You might consider installing zoom as a snap package[1] instead of a deb.
Snaps provide some confinement that, in theory, provide some extra level
of security(harder for zoom to spread files all over your system, etc)

Alternatively, install the zoom deb package in a chroot[2].  I like to
use schroot to help with this kind of thing.

Then create a separate dedicated user just for running zoom.  That will
help limit zoom's access to your normal user's data.
