When it comes to great movie villains, the best examples that come to mind are; Darth Vader, Lord Voldemort and Heath Ledger's The Joker, to name a few. The reason for this is because they had their fair share of memorable scenes, e.g. Batman interrogating the Joker by beating him and he laughs hysterically at every punch. A very chilling scene that stays with you for a while.
'Captain America: Civil War' is a movie filled with awesome scene, followed by more awesome scenes. The Lagos scene when the B-Team Avengers take down Crossbones, the Raid scene in Bucky's apartment followed by a motorway chase with Black Panther, then a brainwashed Bucky attacking all the Avengers and agents (which Zemo was partially involved in), then the most talked-about Airport fight with the two Avengers teams going head to head, and finally, the fight between Cap, Iron Man and Bucky in Siberia.
Zemo was not involved in any of those awesome scenes, he was essentially a guy that caused them without actually having to fight any of the Avengers. Usually, a memorable villain is the one that actually gets involved fighting the hero.
Personally, I think Zemo is underrated, and is my favorite recent movie villain since Loki and/or Kylo Ren but this is my thoughts on why people may not consider him to be memorable. -

He probably would've been more memorable if he was a Hydra agent, and wore the mask, but I suppose the film version isn't really that kind of villain.

Not being a comic reader I had no idea who Zemo was, didn't even know that guy was a specific villain. He just came across as a random higher-up thug to me.
So yeah, Zemo was definitely not memorable.
.and then the bong hits him on the head and he falls RIGHT over the realitY -

Doesnt bother me that he wasnt "memorable" because at the end of the day he was excellent.
We're talking about a sympathetic villain who has no powers, a mortal who uses his brains to disband the Avengers and he did.
