my code :

You can try a couple of things. 

Have you the directory right for the indicator  \\Market etc  ?  Do other iCustom indicators return correct values?

If the indicator is any kind of zigzag, its a bit tricky, standard ZigZag returns mostly zeros unless theres a change in direction.

As an example, this code should display all the iCustom values of standard zigzag for the last 20 bars - most will be zeros.

So long as there is a change in zigzag then it will show price at that bar only.

string txt="";
for(int y=0;y<20;y++){  // bars
 txt=StringConcatenate(txt,"\n",y," ");
 for(int x=0;x<7;x++)   // indicator values at bar 
  txt=StringConcatenate(txt,iCustom(Symbol(),Period(),"ZigZag",20,5,3,x,y)," ");
}
Comment(txt);
