The address is just the payment routing instruction. There needs to be an active node running for the payment to actually get where it's going. So, if your phone isn't running (ie Zeus isn't running), zaps to your @zeuspay LN address will fail. This is why I believe running a full-time cloud node, like or is best for receiving zaps as they provide 24x7 uptime. Similarly, custodial wallets like Cashu (via npub.cash) also allow 24x7 uptime without the need for a running app. Using one wallet for sending and another for receiving is a pretty common option that gets around this problem.
