In general, if you do a non-blocking recv() before doing a zmq_close, you
can make sure there's nothing in the queue, but there is still a chance of
a message being received before the socket is terminated.  If you're using
libzmq master, then Sergey Hripchenko's disconnect options might be a good
way to disconnect the endpoint before shutting down the socket. That said,
we're still missing documentation for that at the moment, I might try and
drop something in.
