Thing is, Rod of Ages provides big bonus to health and AP even without being fully charged, and is insanely good/cost efficient each minute you have it, and doubley so with it's per-level passive. Even if you don't need mana, 450/650 health and 60/80 AP are huge bonuses.

That being said, it's more of an AP carry type, whereas Zac is a tank. By that I mean, if you try to compare this to another person who scales with health and AP (like Vlad and Sej) you'd be getting it based on how well they scale with each. Since all of Zac's abilities scale minimaly with his AP, RoA probably isn't that great of an offensive item.
