I'm not a mechanic, just a bodyman, but from my "Auto Mechanic Basics" at the
school of hard-knocks:

Zero Compression Causes:

Hole in Piston
No Rings on Piston
Valve seats scored
Valves chipped, cracked, or head broken off.
Head Gasket blow out
Cylinder wall damaged

I'm sure some of these are literally extremes, but I'm sure you'll get an answer
from these guys.
