The "Allow access to file URLs" option must be enabled to zoom saved web pages opened in a tab. Visit the chrome://extensions page and open the extension's details to find the option.
Relevant browser bugs: • On macOS and Linux the secondary (right) mouse button gesture does not zoom pages as expected, the context menu is shown
