Would obviously need a new name, but it will solve the current problem of deep zone defenders covering an area.

Leave the deep zone as it currently exists...they guard that specific area.

But add a 4th type of zone where the defenders sole job is to not let anyone behind them and cover the deepest receiver in that 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 of the field.

...or for a Cover 1, the deepest receiver on the field. +1.

Instead of adding another zone, I think it makes more sense to add another assignment.

Zones
flat (weak, strong)
under (weak fourth, weak third, etc)
deep (weak fourth, weak third, etc)

Assignments:
blitz
cover zone shallow
cover zone medium
cover zone deep
cover zone deeper than deepest <- add this?

That way you could use it for flat, under, and deep zones for more flexibility with initial positioning. Using it with flat zone and under zone, you'd be in better position to make a play if no one went deep. Using it with deep zone, you'd have less risk of getting outrun.

+1 to adding man free assignment
