Interesting. The example file 5ZoneDDCycleonAny also has no control zone input (last entry not entered)

AvailabilityManager:NightCycle,
 VAV Sys 1 Avail,         !- Name
 SysAvailApplicSch,       !- Applicability Schedule Name
 FanAvailSched,           !- Fan Schedule Name
 CycleOnAny,              !- Control Type
 1,                       !- Thermostat Tolerance {deltaC}
 7200.;                   !- Cycling Run Time {s}

The IDD calls for these inputs. Note that this object states only 6 inputs are required, not 7. Try entering the name of the zone you want to use to test zone conditions for when the AHU should turn on.
