His early game is so good because at late game he can't really do much unless you are trying to 1x1 him... He can't kill anyone at a teamfight, because squishy ADs will have QSS, squishy APs will have Zhonya's, while tanky (AP or AD) champions will have neither, but they will have so much tankyness that you can't target them during a fight because you can't kill them fast enough, and you will be CC-locked and die.

In short; he falls off late game. Another thing that makes him fall off late game is that he is AD, so unless your team can compensate this with an AP top laner or jungler, chances are that your enemy is building full armor and this is really crippling to Zed.

Also, unlike assassins such as Rengar and Kha'Zix he can't build off-tank. He must build full damage, it is the only useful way to build Zed.
