If you put that in a moderately tight loop, say, one ping message every 10 milliseconds or so, you'll eventually get through, and the fact that you get a return tells you the connection is up.  I know that that is not ideal because you'll end up with a long queue of pings that you can't get rid of after you've received a reply, but it is all I can offer as a suggestion.

I do not think this is necessary, although I appreciate the suggestion.

ZMQ knows when it has received the identity of the peer. It is just a 
question of letting it act upon this event (in one of the three ways
that I have suggested in my original post.)

If the ZMQ developers can agree on what the behavior should be, then I
can implement it.
