Overall, Zac sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kennen. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Kennen.

Is Zac better when played alongside Kennen?

There is no top synergy for Zac that will 100% of the time be his ideal synergy. Yet, overall, Kennen is a very bad ally for Zac. By locking into the same side as Zac, he lowers their win rate by -3.8% to 48.0%. This demonstrates that there is a terrible bond between Zac and Kennen that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Kennen has a much lower diffuclty than Zac. That means Zac players don't need to be careful when finding Kennen comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. When paired, these champions are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by grouping Zac and Kennen together, you may not be giving your other allies much sustained damage output. We recommend you have other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Kennen ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
