No.
I've bought Mac-format (HFS) floppies and reformatted them for use on
DOS/Windows machines. Granted, I did that under OS/2. (Yes, I do use
lots of operating systems, why do you ask?)
So one *can* reformat a Zip disk. I suspect fdformat would work, but
I've never had to do it under Linux so that's a complete guess.
